MUSHROOM QUICHE
My husband, who *thought* he didn't like quiche, goes back for seconds when I make this one. This was my first try at making quiche and I really liked it. The cayenne pepper really gives it a nice bite. I have to admit I've never made it with the savory because I can't find it in my grocery stores, but I think it tastes good without it. Recipe is from Taste of Home.

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.

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.

QUICHE LORRAINE
The first quiche to come to the attention of the American public was the quiche Lorraine in the 1950s. Since then we have gone through what has amounted to the quiching of America. Like ice cream, the quiche appears in all flavors -- from asparagus to zucchini. This recipe makes enough filling for a pie dish. If you use a tart pan, expect to have extra custard.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Line a nine-inch pie plate with the pastry. By all means build a rim with the pastry and flute it. This is essential for the amount of custard indicated in this recipe.
- Cover the bottom of the pastry with a round of parchment paper and add enough dried beans or peas to partly fill the shell. Bake 10 minutes.
- Reduce the oven heat to 375 degrees. Remove and discard the beans and parchment paper and set the pastry-lined pie plate aside.
- Cook the bacon until crisp and remove it from skillet. Pour off all but one tablespoon of the fat remaining in the skillet. Cook the onion in the remaining fat until the onion is transparent.
- Crumble the bacon and sprinkle the bacon, onion and cheeses over the inside of the partly baked pastry.
- Combine the eggs, cream, nutmeg, salt, pepper and Tabasco sauce to taste. Strain the mixture over the onion-cheese mixture. Slide the pie onto a baking sheet.
- Bake the pie until a knife inserted one inch from the pastry edge comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Remove to a wire rack. Let stand five or 10 minutes before serving.
TRANSFORMED SPINACH MUSHROOM QUICHE
This moist vegetarian quiche is perfect for every meal. The quiche was originally a quiche Lorraine, but has since been transformed. Feel free to add sausage if you choose. I usually make 2 large pies or several small ones all at one time, freezing whatever is left over.

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.

Tips:
- For a crispier crust, blind-bake the quiche crust before filling it.
- To prevent a soggy crust, make sure the quiche filling is fully cooked before baking.
- For a richer quiche, use heavy cream instead of milk.
- To add extra flavor, sauté the mushrooms in butter or olive oil before adding them to the quiche filling.
- For a vegetarian quiche, omit the bacon.
- For a gluten-free quiche, use a gluten-free pie crust.
