Description
A simple crustless mushroom quiche featuring earthy mushrooms, sweet sautéed onions, and melted cheese in a light, custardy base.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (like cheddar or Swiss)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
- Fresh herbs (like parsley or thyme) for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat and sauté onions and mushrooms until tender, about 6–8 minutes.
- Stir cooked vegetables into the egg mixture and fold in cheese, then pour into the greased pie dish.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Notes
For a richer custard, swap half the milk for half-and-half or cream. Let the quiche rest before cutting for cleaner slices.
