Savory Spinach Quiche Recipe With Mushrooms & Swiss Cheese (10 Ingredients) by Melissa Vickers

I like to wander through the grocery store with an eye out for new things that look interesting. Not too long ago I spotted a ready-made pecan pie crust, and decided it was definitely worth a try.

The crust says it is good for both sweet pies and savory pies, and given the amount of sugar-laden stuff we seem to be eating of late, I opted for a savory quiche. The crust is slightly sweet, and was good in this quiche recipe. They have a recipe for a key lime pie using that crust, and if my husband was a fan of such, I’d be trying it! But for now, I'm happy with this easy spinach and Swiss cheese quiche recipe with mushrooms.
