Ingredients

• 1 piece Pie crust (9-inch, pre-made or homemade)
• 200 grams Shrimp (peeled, deveined, and cooked)
• 150 grams Mushrooms (sliced, any variety such as white button or cremini)
• 150 grams Shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyère, or your preferred cheese)
• 4 large Eggs
• 200 milliliters Heavy cream
• 100 milliliters Milk
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon Nutmeg (optional, freshly grated)
• 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh parsley (for garnish, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it gently into the edges. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges decoratively. Use a fork to prick the bottom of the crust to prevent bubbling. Pre-bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set it aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and mushrooms, cooking and stirring frequently until the mushrooms are browned and any liquid is evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper, then set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg (if using) until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Scatter the cooked shrimp, sautéed mushrooms, and shredded cheese evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust.

Step 6

Pour the egg and cream mixture over the filling, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
