    How We Made Spinach & Mushroom Quiche Healthy

     

    1) We added 8 cups of spinach and 8 ounces of fresh mixed mushrooms to our quiche. More vegetables offer more fibre and nutrients, leaving less room for cream and eggs' fat and calories.

    2) For the custard, we substituted whole milk and half-and-half for the heavy cream. Less saturated fat results in the same creamy effects.

    3. We gave up on the crust! A crustless quiche is not only quicker to prepare but also healthier. By omitting the crust, you ingest fewer calories, fats, and carbohydrates, allowing more room for the nutritious (and delicious) ingredients in the filling.

    Can I Use Frozen Spinach Instead of Fresh?

    Indeed, you can! If you thaw and squeeze the frozen spinach dry, it might be a good substitute for fresh spinach. We pre-cook the vegetables before baking them in the custard because moist and watery components will result in a moist and watery quiche. When incorporating any frozen or fresh vegetables into the custard, be sure to squeeze dry or cook them first.

    How to Store Spinach & Mushroom Quiche

    Registered dietitians use an ingredient database to determine nutrition information, however it should only be taken as a rough approximation.

    The amounts of nutrients that are advised to be consumed daily are known as Daily Values (DVs). The amount that a serving of a particular product or recipe contributes to each of those total suggested amounts is shown on nutrition labels by the percentage daily value (%DV). The daily value is based on a typical 2,000 calorie diet, according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). You might require more or less of a given nutrient depending on your caloric needs or whether you have a medical condition. (For instance, it is advised that individuals following a heart-healthy diet consume less sodium on a daily basis than individuals following a conventional diet.
