Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, cold and diced
- 3 tablespoons Ice water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 10 ounces Mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
To prepare the crust, combine the all-purpose flour and 0.25 teaspoon of salt in a medium bowl.
Add the cold, diced unsalted butter and use a pastry cutter or fork to incorporate the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add ice water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently until the dough begins to hold together.
Form the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 9-inch pie pan. Transfer the dough to the pan, trim the edges, and prick the bottom with a fork.
Line the crust with parchment paper and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake the crust for 15 minutes, then remove the weights and parchment. Bake for another 5 minutes until lightly golden.
While the crust bakes, heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until soft and browned, about 5-7 minutes.
Add the minced garlic to the mushrooms and cook for an additional minute. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and black pepper.
Stir in the cooked mushrooms, shredded Gruyère cheese, and fresh thyme leaves.
Pour the mushroom mixture into the pre-baked crust.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the egg mixture is set and the top is lightly browned.
Allow the quiche to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
