Quiche, a classic French dish, is a savory pie made with a pastry crust filled with a custard-like filling. It can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and is a versatile dish that can be made with a variety of ingredients. Mushrooms are a popular addition to quiche, as they add a delicious earthy flavor and texture. When choosing mushrooms for quiche, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, consider the type of mushroom you want to use. Some popular options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms. Second, think about how you want to prepare the mushrooms. You can sauté them, roast them, or even dry them. Finally, don't forget to season the mushrooms with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.

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.

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.

Tips:
- Use a good quality pie crust. You can make your own or buy a pre-made one. If you're making your own, be sure to use a recipe that uses butter, as this will give the crust a richer flavor and flakier texture.
- Don't overcook the quiche. The filling should be just set in the center. If you overcook it, the quiche will be dry and tough.
- Let the quiche cool slightly before serving. This will give the filling time to set and make it easier to slice.
- Serve the quiche with a salad or soup. This will make a complete and satisfying meal.
Conclusion:
Quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover vegetables and cheese. With so many different variations to choose from, there's sure to be a quiche that everyone will love.
