Ingredients

• 1 whole store-bought or homemade pie crust
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 8 ounces button or cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
• 4 whole large eggs
• 1.25 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cups whole milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, trimming any excess dough, and crimp the edges. Use a fork to lightly prick the bottom of the crust. Pre-bake the crust for 8-10 minutes, then set aside to cool.

Step 2

Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and golden. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.

Step 3

Spread the shredded Swiss cheese evenly over the bottom of the pre-baked pie crust. Spoon the mushroom and garlic mixture over the cheese, distributing it evenly.

Step 4

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, milk, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese and mushrooms in the crust, taking care to distribute it evenly.

Step 5

Place the quiche on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. To check for doneness, insert a knife into the center—it should come out clean.

Step 6

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm or at room temperature.
