Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Step 3

Add the chopped shallots and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until soft and fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8-10 minutes or until the mushrooms have released their moisture and are golden brown.

Add the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and remove from heat. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 6

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until fully combined.

Step 7

Stir in the shredded Gruyère cheese and chopped parsley.

Step 8

Place the pre-baked pie crust on a baking sheet to catch any spills.

Step 9

Spread the sautéed mushroom mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 10

Pour the egg and cream mixture over the mushrooms, ensuring everything is well distributed.

Step 11

Carefully transfer the quiche to the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
