How to Make California Quiche

  1. Sauté 8 oz cremini mushrooms, 2 stalks celery (finely chopped), and 1/2 medium yellow onion (chopped) in 2 tbsp butter until softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. Set aside to cool.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 2 tbsp all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1 tbsp pepper sauce until well combined.
  4. Stir in 4 oz cooked bacon (crumbled), the cooled mushroom mixture, 4 oz shredded Swiss cheese, 4 oz shredded cheddar cheese, and 2 tbsp dry white wine.
  5. Cover the quiche mixture and chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour (or up to overnight).
  6. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  7. Gently stir the chilled egg mixture. Pour into a well-buttered 9-inch quiche pan or deep pie plate.
  8. Bake for 50-55 minutes, or until the center is set and the crust is golden brown. A knife inserted near the center should come out clean.
  9. Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
  10. Garnish with extra bacon curls or fresh herbs, if desired.
