The Art of the Mushroom Quiche
Quiche, the elegant French tart with its creamy custard filling, provides a delightful canvas for showcasing the flavors of mushrooms. With their delicate textures and savory notes, mushrooms elevate the classic quiche to a gourmet experience.
Featured Mushrooms:
- Chanterelle Mushrooms: Prized for their fruity aroma and slightly peppery flavor, chanterelles add a touch of sophistication.
- Oyster Mushrooms: With their delicate texture and subtle flavor, oyster mushrooms complement the richness of the quiche custard.
- White Button Mushrooms: Our versatile friend, the white button mushroom, adds a familiar and mild flavor.
Mastering the Mushroom Quiche
Ingredients:
- Crust:
- Filling:
Instructions:
- Make the crust: In a food processor, pulse together flour and salt. Add butter and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough comes together. Form a disc, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Prep the filling: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Sauté the onion in olive oil until softened. Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their liquid and are slightly browned.
- Blind bake: Roll out chilled dough and fit into a 9-inch tart pan. Prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 15 minutes.
- Whisk the custard: Whisk together eggs, cream, milk, salt, and pepper.
- Assemble the quiche: Sprinkle the sautéed mushrooms and Gruyère cheese over the pre-baked crust. Gently pour in the custard.
- Bake and enjoy: Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly golden. Let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Tips:
- Get creative: Experiment with different cheeses like Parmesan, Swiss, or goat cheese.
- Vegetarian twist: Substitute the Gruyère with smoked Gouda for a delicious vegetarian version.
- Herb infusion: Add a tablespoon of chopped fresh herbs like thyme or chives to the custard.
