  • 1/4 cup chopped shallots

How to Make Barbara Bush S Mushroom Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Position rack in the lower third of the oven.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1 pound of sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1/4 cup chopped shallots to the skillet. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme. Cook for 2 minutes, or until any liquid from the mushrooms has evaporated.
  5. Remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  6. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup of heavy cream or milk, and 1/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese (optional).
  7. Gently stir in the cooled mushroom mixture.
  8. Pour the egg mixture into a 9-inch unbaked pie crust.
  9. Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the filling is puffed, set, and lightly golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  10. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
