French Winter Spinach & Mushroom Quiche
On a chilly Lyon afternoon, the Geedel Vegetable Chopper effortlessly slices mushrooms and spinach for a classic French quiche. With store-bought pastry and a hot tea pairing, this warm winter lunch comes together quickly—simple, satisfying, and deeply comforting.
Ingredients (Serves 4)
- 1 ready-made puff pastry crust
- 100g spinach (stems removed)
- 100g white mushrooms
- ¼ onion
- 2 eggs
- 80ml heavy cream
- 30g Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tbsp butter
- ¼ tsp salt
- A pinch of black pepper
Instructions
1. Slice the Mushrooms: Even & Efficient
Clean the mushrooms and slice them into 3cm-thick pieces. Place them in the Geedel Vegetable Chopper and rotate five times to create fine, uniform strips. The consistent size ensures even cooking and full release of flavor—saving 10 minutes compared to hand-cutting.
2. Dice the Onion: No Tears, Just Flavor
Cut the onion into 2cm chunks and place them in the Onion Dicer. Rotate three times for evenly minced onion—completely tear-free. Once sautéed, it forms a mild, aromatic base for the quiche.
3. Prepare the Filling: Smooth & Well-Combined
Blanch the spinach, drain well, and chop finely using the Manual Food Processor(retaining some texture for bite). In a bowl, whisk the eggs with heavy cream, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Stir in the sautéed mushroom strips, onion, and chopped spinach until fully combined—no lumps, just a smooth, cohesive filling.
4. Bake the Quiche: Golden & Aromatic
Place the pastry crust in a tart pan and pour in the filling. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 25 minutes, until the top is golden and the filling is set. Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Each bite offers the earthiness of mushrooms, the tenderness of spinach, and the richness of cream—a true taste of French home cooking.
Conclusion
This French-style quiche turns simple seasonal ingredients into an elegant yet easy meal. With the Geedel Vegetable Chopper, Onion Dicer, and Manual Food Processor, prep becomes quick and consistent—ideal for home cooks who value flavor and convenience. Serve warm, with a hot drink, for a cozy winter meal that brings a touch of Lyon to your table.
