Spinach and Mushroom Quiche With Puff Pastry Crust
Perfect to serve at a ladies brunch or luncheon!
I most always use fresh sliced sauteed mushrooms in place of canned, if you use more than 1 cup sauteed fresh mushrooms I suggest to use a 10-inch pie plate instead of 9-inch and roll the puff pastry out a little larger, I also added in small diced red bell pepper
Servings 4-6
Ingredients:
- 1 puff pastry sheet (use half of a 17-ounce package, thawed according to package directions)
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened (use half an 8-ounce package)
- 1/2 cup light cream (such as half and half)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (can use up to 1 teaspoon)
- 1 cup canned sliced mushrooms, very well drained
- 1 (10 ounce) package frozen spinach (cooked to package directions, then hand-squeezed dry)
- 1 1/4 cups old cheddar cheese, shredded
