Ingredients

• 1 piece Pre-made pie crust
• 200 grams Chorizo sausage
• 200 grams Cremini mushrooms
• 1 medium Yellow onion
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves
• 5 large Eggs
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 1 cup Whole milk
• 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
• 1 tablespoon Butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Roll out your pre-made pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any overhanging edges, and set aside.

Step 3

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the chorizo until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet, and drain any excess grease if necessary.

Step 4

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook until softened and any released moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes. Season the mixture with a pinch of salt and black pepper, then remove from heat.

Step 7

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until thoroughly combined. Stir in the grated Gruyère cheese, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 8

Spread the cooked chorizo evenly across the bottom of the prepared pie crust. Top with the mushroom and onion mixture, spreading it out in an even layer.

Step 9

Pour the egg and cream mixture over the fillings in the pie crust, ensuring even coverage. Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top.

Step 10

Carefully transfer the quiche to the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 11

Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
