Spinach, Feta, and Mushroom Quiche

October 4, 2012 by Mom on the Make 5 Comments

I love this recipe so much, I whip it up in my kitchen at least once per month.  If you like egg dishes and especially quiche, you are going to LOVE this one.

With the mixture of feta cheese, crimini mushrooms, onions, and spinach, there is a special kick to this quiche that is quite unique.

I found this recipe in my “Food to Live By” Recipe book, by Myra Goodman.  This book is the official recipe book of the Earthbound Organic Farms in Carmel Valley.

This is definitely a keeper.  Hopefully you love it as much as we do!
