Equipment

Ingredients
  

For the crust:

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour 250g
  • 1 teaspoon salt 5g
  • 1/2 cup cold unsalted butter cut into small pieces (115g)
  • 1/4 cup ice water 60ml

For the filling:

  • 3 large eggs 180g
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 360ml
  • 1 cup shredded cheese cheddar or Swiss (115g)
  • 1/2 cup diced ham or bacon 60g
  • 1/2 cup sautéed mushrooms and onions 60g
  • Salt and pepper to taste 2g

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Make the crust: In a bowl, combine flour and salt. Add butter and use a pastry blender or fingers to work it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water, stirring with a fork until the dough comes together. Wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Roll out the crust and place it in the tart 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 for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
  • Remove the parchment paper and pie weights or beans. Return the crust to the oven and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  • Make the filling: In a saucepan, sauté the mushrooms and onions until tender. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, heavy cream, shredded cheese, diced ham or bacon, salt, and pepper.
  • Pour the filling mixture into the baked crust and top with sautéed mushrooms and onions.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.

Notes

Tips:
  • Use a variety of fillings, such as spinach and feta or bell peppers and onions, to change up the flavor.
  • Add some diced cooked vegetables, like bell peppers or zucchini, to the filling for added nutrition.
  • Quiche can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen for later use. Simply thaw and bake as instructed.
