Ingredients:

One 9" deep dish pie shell
2 tbsp. Hiland butter, divided use
½ small onion, chopped
1 c. sliced J & M Farms fresh mushrooms
8 oz. cream cheese, cut into small cubes
1 cup spinach, chopped and drained
1 1/2 c. grated Swiss cheese
1 ½ c. grated Monterey Jack cheese
6 large Braum's eggs
1 cup Braum's half and half

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Sauté mushrooms in 1 tablespoon butter. Sauté onion in 1 tablespoon butter. Cover the bottom of the pie crust with cream cheese, cut into small cubes. Add the onion. Add the mushrooms - divide evenly over quiche. Add the spinach, the same distribution. Top with both the Jack and Swiss cheeses. Mix together the milk and eggs - add a pinch of nutmeg if desired. Slowly pour over the top of quiche. Bake for 15 minutes at 425 degrees, then REDUCE the oven temperature to 350 degrees and bake for another 30 minutes. Quiche should be golden.

Enjoy!
