SPINACH MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms, garlic and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the skillet from the heat.
• Press the pie crust into a deep, 9-inch tart pan with a removeable bottom (or a deep-dish pie pan). Layer the mushrooms and spinach into the crust and top with the cheese.
• Whisk together the half-and-half, eggs and a good pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the crust.
• Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes.

Let the quiche sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove from the pan, slice and serve.

MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:

• Roll out the dough: Roll out dough on a clean, lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Line a 10 by 1 1/2-inch tart pan with the rolled out dough. Trim the edges. Chill in freezer for 30 minutes. (You need to pre-freeze the raw crust or it will slip down the sides of the pan when it cooks.)
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Pre-bake crust: Line the crust with aluminum foil or parchment paper, pushing into the bottom edge. Trim excess lining, but don't cut the foil or parchment paper too close to the crust, allow for enough room to easily lift it out. Fill it at least two-thirds with baking weights-dried beans (I keep a bag of pinto beans just to use for pie weights), rice, or aluminum pie weights. Bake initially for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool a few minutes. Carefully remove parchment paper and weights. Poke the bottom of the pie crust with the tines of a fork and return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes or until lightly golden. (Fork holes are for any air to escape.) Let cool on a rack while you make the filling.
• Sauté the shallots and mushrooms: Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Sauté the shallots for a minute, then add the mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release all of their moisture, and get well browned, about 10 minutes.
• Make the filling: Whisk together the cream, milk, and eggs in a medium bowl. Stir in nutmeg, salt and pepper.
• Assemble the quiche: Place the tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any run-off or leaks. Sprinkle half of the grated Gruyere over the bottom of the crust. Spread the mushrooms and shallots over the cheese in an even layer, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the mushrooms and cheese in the crust.
• Bake: Put the baking sheet with the tart pan in the oven and bake at 350°F until the center is just set, still a little wiggly, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove to a rack and let cool for 20 minutes before slicing.

SHALLOT-MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly flour a rolling pin and work surface and roll out dough to a 12-inch round. Place in a 9-inch pie plate, fold overhang under, and crimp edge. Place a sheet of parchment paper over dough and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edge is dry and light golden, about 20 minutes. Remove parchment and weights.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Add shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook until light golden, 8 to 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and cream. Add shallots, mushrooms, and cheese and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine, pour into crust, and bake until center of quiche is just set, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

QUICK MUSHROOM AND BACON QUICHE

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Celsius. If pie shell is frozen, take out to thaw. 2. In a large frying pan, fry bacon until beginning to crisp. Set aside on paper-towel lined plate. 3. Remove all but 1 tbsp of bacon grease; try to reserve drippings for flavour. Add mushrooms and fry until beginning to soften. Add onions and garlic and fry until slightly caramelized. Take off of heat, stir bacon back into pan, and set aside. 4. Mix together eggs, milk, salt, parsley, and both peppers. Beat until well blended. 5. Spread half of the cheese along the bottom of the pie shell. Spoon bacon and mushroom mixture over top, and top with remaining cheese. Pour egg mixture carefully over the cheese, ensuring it goes evenly through the other ingredients. 6. Put pie on lower rack and bake for 10 minutes. Turn heat down to 350 and cook for 30-35 more minutes, or until golden on top and done. Cool slightly before cutting, to ensure that the egg sets. Enjoy!

LEEK, MUSHROOM & GRUYèRE QUICHE

Steps:

• To make the pastry, tip the flour and butter into a bowl, then rub together with your fingertips until completely mixed and crumbly. Add 8 tbsp cold water, then bring everything together with your hands until just combined. Roll into a ball and use straight away or chill for up to 2 days. The pastry can also be frozen for up to a month.
• Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a round about 5cm larger than a 25cm tin. Use your rolling pin to lift it up, then drape over the tart case so there is an overhang of pastry on the sides. Using a small ball of pastry scraps, push the pastry into the corners of the tin (see picture, above left). Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20 mins. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
• While the pastry is chilling, heat the butter in a pan and cook the leeks for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until they soften. Then turn up the heat and add the mushrooms. Cook for 5 mins more, then turn off the heat.
• Lightly prick the base of the tart with a fork, line the tart case with a large circle of greaseproof paper or foil, then fill with baking beans. Blind-bake the tart for 20 mins, remove the paper and beans, then continue to cook for 5-10 mins until biscuit brown
• While the tart case cooks, beat the eggs in a bowl, then gradually add the cream. Stir in the leeks, mushrooms and half the cheese. Season, then tip the filling into the tart case. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese, then bake for 20-25 mins until set and golden brown. Leave to cool in the case, trim the edges of the pastry, then remove and serve in slices.
