Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
If using a pre-made or homemade pie crust, roll it out and fit it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess crust and set aside. You can also partially bake the crust for 5-7 minutes to prevent it from getting soggy when filled later.
- In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become golden brown, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the mushrooms cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy whipping cream, and salt until well-combined.
- Stir in the shredded Swiss cheese.
- Evenly spread the cooked mushrooms over the bottom of the pie crust.
- Pour the egg and cheese mixture over the mushrooms, spreading it out evenly.
- Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
- To check for doneness, insert a knife or toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when the quiche is fully cooked.
- Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes before slicing.
- Slice into wedges and serve warm.
Tips:
- 1. Use fresh mushrooms to get the best flavor. Sauté them in butter until they release all their moisture and are nicely browned.
- 2. Ensure your eggs and heavy cream are well-mixed to create a smooth custard consistency.
- 3. Pre-bake (blind bake) your pie crust for about 10 minutes before adding the filling to avoid a soggy bottom.
- 4. Grate your Swiss cheese to distribute it evenly throughout the quiche for a consistent flavor in every bite.
- 5. Let the quiche cool for a few minutes after baking before serving. This helps it set and makes slicing easier.
- 6. To add more depth to the flavor, consider adding some freshly ground black pepper or a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
- 7. Leftover quiche can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and can be reheated in the oven or microwave.
Mushroom and Swiss Cheese Quiche offers a delectable combination of ingredients, perfect for any meal of the day. The creamy, cheesy filling paired with the earthy mushrooms creates a comforting and satisfying dish. Serve it warmly with a fresh side salad or enjoy it alone; it’s delicious either way. Remember, quiche can be a versatile dish, so feel free to experiment with different fillings and cheeses to customize it to your taste.
