How to make spinach and mushroom quiche
Begin by preparing the crust for this savory spinach quiche. Mix flour with salt in a bowl. Incorporate butter using your hands or a pastry processor until crumbs form. Add the egg and blend until the dough becomes homogeneous. Knead the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
While the dough chills, prepare the spinach filling. Heat oil in a large flat-bottomed frying pan over medium-high heat. Sauté onion for about 5 minutes until soft. Add mushrooms and spinach, cooking until any liquid evaporates. Season with salt and pepper, then remove from heat and allow to cool.
Preheat the oven to 220°C (425°F). Roll out the chilled dough and fit it into a 10-inch (25cm) tart pan. Prick the crust with a fork and bake for 15 minutes until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly. Reduce the oven temperature to 190°C (375°F).
In a bowl, beat eggs with sour cream, salt, pepper, and cheese until well combined. Spread the cooked spinach mixture evenly over the crust, then pour the egg mixture on top.
Bake the quiche for 35-40 minutes until the filling is set and golden brown on top. Serve warm or cold, and store any leftovers refrigerated for up to 3 days. This quiche is perfect for any meal, offering a delicious combination of flavors and textures.

What can I use to replace the eggs
II haven't tried this without eggs, but maybe some cream cheese may work well for the filling and for the crust try use water (about 4 tbsp) instead of egg. Let me know if you give this a try.
What to use instead of sour cream? How about cream + lemon juice?
I think it may work:)
Or greek yogurt .
Very tasty! I made it with mushrooms and zucchini – wonderful combination!
Thanks a lot for the recipe! 🙂
