This easy and impressive Spinach, Mushroom and Artichoke Quiche with Spelt Crust makes the loveliest brunch dish! Or enjoy it for dinner with a leafy green salad.
I'm such a quiche girl.
I mean I'm also a pancake and french toast girl. I guess a more apt phrase would be I'm a brunch girl. All the carby and eggy things!
Despite my deep dark love for all things quichey, I hadn't dared to make my own crust until this very moment. Pie crust is scary! It's one of those intimidating baking endeavors that's actually SO much easier than it looks. Flour, garlic, herbs, olive oil, and water---wam bam boom! Simply mix 'em together and say hello to the most glorious 100% whole grain crust. I love spelt flour because it's so light tasting, but you can use whole wheat or all purpose if that's what you have on hand. You can also use any herbs you'd like, fresh or dried. We're not picky, here.
Delish and nutrish!
Now let's talk filling for this Spinach, Mushroom, and Artichoke Quiche with Spelt Crust. It's loaded with my favorite veggie staples: spinach, mushrooms, and marinated artichoke hearts for a little flare. I always keep a jar of artichoke hearts in the fridge because they add flavor and oomph to pasta and salads and lookie here, QUICHE! I've been keeping shallots around (I adore the flavor they add to salad dressing) because they're a bit more delicate than onion, but onion will work totally fine as well. Broccoli, peppers, asparagus, kale...they'll all be yummy here if shrooms and spinach aren't in your crisper drawer.
Fire up the mimosas and/or coffee and lettuce cheers to the yummiest meal of the day!

This easy and impressive Spinach, Mushroom and Artichoke Quiche with Spelt Crust makes the loveliest brunch dish! Or enjoy it for dinner with a leafy green salad.
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 cup spelt flour (or white whole wheat flour)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme or rosemary, chopped (or ½ tsp dried)
- ½ tsp sea salt + freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- ¼ cup cold water
For the quiche:
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ cup chopped shallot (or onion)
- 8oz baby bella mushrooms, sliced
- 3-4 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
- 6 large eggs
- ⅓ cup milk of choice (I used unsweetened almond milk)
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
- 3oz crumbled feta or goat cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Spray a 9 or 10-in cast iron skillet or pie pan with cooking spray.
- Add spelt flour, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl. Whisk together oil in water in a separate bowl. Pour wet mixture into dry and stir until a dough ball forms.
- Press dough into pan until it's evenly spread on bottom and up sides. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallot plus a pinch of salt and pepper and sauté for a few minutes, or until softened. Add mushrooms and sauté for about 10 minutes, or until softened and starting to brown. Add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with a pinch or salt and pepper. Stir in artichokes and set aside to cool.
- Wipe clean bowl used for crust. Whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and red pepper flakes. Stir in feta. Pour vegetable mixture onto uncooked crust. Top evenly egg and cheese mixture.
- Bake for about 30-35 minutes or until set. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into 6-8 slices. Serve with greens dressed with lemon, olive oil, salt and pepper if desired!

Easy recipe and right ratios. I didn't use the exact same veggies as outlined in the recipe, and it still works like a charm. I will be returning to this recipe in the future!

Super easy and super versatile! I just used whatever I had on hand, and it turned out amazing. Cooked it for 32 minutes and it was perfect and I used all purpose flour for the crust. Definitely making this every week!

I absolutely love your site and the wonderful recipes that you offer. I have a big question, can this be made with an egg substitute? I am trying to avoid eggs and I have been using tofu as part of my breakfast menu. Please advise.
Alexis says
Hi there! Since it's an egg-based quiche, I can't think of an egg free version for this recipe but if you google vegan quiches made with chickpea flour, there's great options! I've made this one: http://makingthymeforhealth.com/chickpea-frittata/

Alexis, I wonder if I can use Buckwheat or Sourghum crust instead. I have one bag of each and I can make them into a flour. Do you know.? Could you also send me your reply to: mcaldwell11@suddenlink.net.
Thank you, much appreciated.
Alexis says
I would google a crust recipe with that—I’ve never worked with those flours!

Hey! My name is Evie, and I love baking healthy just like you! I recently found a recipe on Pinterest that while looks delicious, I think could have a bit more nutritional value.
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/157555686951012177/
I totally thought of you when I saw the sea salt sprinkled on top. As a fellow nutritionist, I was wondering if you could post this holiday friendly recipe on your site, just adapted a bit.
Here’s the ingredient list:
Caramel
Chocolate chips, semisweet
Butter
Condensed milk, sweetened
Heavy cream
I was thinking agave caramel, organic 80% dark chocolate, avocado oil and fat free and 2% respectively for the milk products. (Maybe even cashew cream? Hmm...). Sorry for this huge comment, but I think a lot of people would like to see this. Thanks so much for your awesome blog. :)) maybe I could fiddle work this a comment a recipe?
