Beat eggs in a large bowl.
Defrost spinach and allow to sit in a colander for a few minutes to drain excess water.
Grate cheddar and crumble feta.

Add spinach, cheeses, and cooked mushrooms and onion to the eggs and mix all ingredients together.
Pour mixture into pie shell.
Place pie plate onto a larger baking sheet to catch any liquids which may spill off the top of the pie during cooking.
