This low carb, vegetarian, and gluten free quiche is packed with veggies and has so much flavor!
I used to always struggle when it came to making a healthy breakfast that my family enjoyed until I introduced this recipe.
- Difficulty: Easy

Directions
-Preheat oven to 375℉, grease a pie pan and set aside.
-Start by measuring out the spinach and set aside.
-Chop mushrooms/onions and set aside. (I prefer to leave the spinach unchopped, feel free to chop up spinach if you would like).

-In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, 2% milk, half and half, dijon mustard, thyme, salt and pepper.
-Next, heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat and cook mushrooms until tender.
-Incorporate onions on a frying pan once mushrooms are tender, continue cooking vegetable mixture, stirring frequently, until onions are tender as well.
-Add spinach and minced garlic to the pan, stir until wilted.
-Remove vegetables from stove top. Fold vegetables and cheese into egg mixture.
-Pour mixture into the prepared pie pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.

Tips
