Savory Mushroom and Spinach Quiche

For a personal twist, consider adding some caramelized onions or even a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary. If you're seeking a gluten-free option, using a pre-made gluten-free crust or simply omitting the crust altogether will still yield a deliciously satisfying frittata-like dish.
