How to Make Mushroom Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). Line a 9-inch unbaked pie crust with a double thickness of heavy-duty aluminum foil.
  2. Blind bake the crust: Bake for 8 minutes.
  3. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven and let cool completely on a wire rack.
  5. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F (177°C).
  6. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, 1/2 cup chopped onion, and 1/2 cup chopped red bell pepper. Sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 8-10 minutes.
  7. Drain any excess liquid from the mushroom mixture and set aside.
  8. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour.
  9. Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk, 3 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. (Optional: Add 1/4 teaspoon savory if available).
  10. Gently fold in the sautéed mushroom mixture.
  11. Pour the filling into the cooled pie crust.
  12. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  13. Let the quiche stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
