- While the crust is baking, sauté the shallots, garlic, mushrooms, chilli flakes and sun-dried tomatoes in 1 Tbsp of Olive Oil for about 10 minutes to soften.

- Mix the Eggs, Egg Whites, milk, salt and pepper by whisk until foamy.
- Add the vegetables and spinach to the baked crust, pour the egg mixture over and add the grated cheese to the top.
- Bake for another 25 minutes – Quiche will puff up and begin to brown.
