When I got married, a wonderful friend of mine gifted me a binder full of tried and true recipes- her recipes, her mother’s, my mother’s, etc. In the dairy section was a recipe for mushroom quiche. I’m actually not the biggest fan of mushrooms, but I do like them in two types of dishes- quiche, as I discovered when I tried her recipe, and soups.

 

I was such a novice when I first started cooking that when I saw the recipe called for a pie crust, I baked the quiche in a graham cracker crust. I had no idea there were frozen pie crusts for savory dishes!

 

Over the year, as I fell in love with cooking (and eventually baking!) I tweaked her recipe and made it my own. The original called for canned mushrooms; in this Mushroom Medley Muenster Quiche, as the title hints, I use three types of mushrooms, slowly sauteed for maximum flavor.

  • 4 – 6 oz shiitake mushrooms, thinly sliced
  • 4 – 6 oz crimini mushrooms, thinly sliced

How to make Mushroom Medley Muenster Quiche

 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 F.
  2. Using a fork, prick small holes into the frozen pie crust. Place in oven for 10 minutes. When done, remove from oven and let cool.
  3. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large frying pan. Saute onion for 5-7 minutes, until translucent.
  4. Add mushrooms to pan. On medium-low heat, saute mushrooms, stirring occasionally until mushrooms have reduced in size and darkened in color. This will take between 10 and 20 minutes.
  5. Add garlic to pan and saute for an additional minute or two.
  6. Set mushroom mixture aside and let cool.
  7. In a small bowl, combine heavy cream, egg, egg whites, flour, muenster cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  8. Set the pie crust on top of a baking sheet in case of leaks.
  9. Pour mushroom mixture into pie crust.
  10. Pour cheese mixture over the mushrooms. Sprinkle with thyme.
  11. Bake at 350 F for 40 minutes or until golden brown and top is set.
  12. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing so the inside has a chance to firm up.
