Recipe Summary

• Prep Time: 20 minutes
• Cook Time: 45 minutes
• Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes
• Servings: 8
• Skill Level: Moderate

Ingredients

• 1 pre-made pie crust
• 1 cup of sliced mushrooms
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon of olive oil
• 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup of heavy cream
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon of ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon of fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Place the pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it firmly against the bottom and sides. Trim excess dough if necessary.
3. In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms, sautéing until softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
5. Spread the sautéed mushrooms and onions in an even layer over the pie crust. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top.
6. Carefully pour the egg mixture over the filling, ensuring everything is evenly distributed.
7. Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Helpful Tips

• To save time, use a store-bought pie crust, but feel free to make your own for an extra touch of homemade flavor.
• For a deeper flavor, try using a mix of different mushrooms like cremini, shiitake, or portobello.
• If you prefer a vegetarian version, substitute the cheeses with your favorite plant-based alternatives.
• Ensure the eggs and cream are at room temperature for a smoother consistency in the filling.

Storage Instructions

Store leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 10-15 minutes, or until warmed through.

Pairings
