Mushroom Swiss Quiche
This Mushroom Swiss Quiche is a hearty, flavorful quiche that is baked up in a buttery flakey crust.
To me, quiche is one of those misunderstood foods. Many times they are placed on tea party tables or served in ladies’ brunch-style settings. But quiche is more than just a delicate dish to be served at only the uppity parties. It can be a hearty meal with lots of flavors.
Often they are filled with all the goodness as an entire meal. Meats, dairy, veggies, and carbohydrates. This Mushroom and Swiss Quiche is delicious and served hot or chilled. This makes it a perfect summer meal whether you are having people over or looking for a great way to have leftover lunches in a snap.

What You Will Need To Make It

1/2 tsp sea salt

Pie Crust Recipe
1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup of salted cold butter
3-5 tbsp cold water
To Make The Pie Crust
Add the flour to a food processor. Cube the butter into small squares.
Add the cold butter to the food processor with the flour. Put the lid on.
Turn the food processor on and remove the insert on the pour spout and begin to add the cold water slowly 1 tbsp at a time.
The dough is ready when it all comes together in a ball. Take the dough out and roll it out onto a floured surface.
Place into a waiting pie dish and pop it in to the fridge while the oven heats up. To ensure the crust is properly baked through, see blind baking tip below.
Baking Tips
- Using a piece of parchment paper to roll the dough out on makes for easier clean up and transferring to the pie pan. You simply flip it over onto the pie dish with your palm in the middle and peel away the parchment paper.
- Roll out pie dough, shape the edges. Once fitted to pie pan, pop it back into the fridge until the oven is ready to keep the dough chilled. This makes for a flakier crust.
- Blind Bake– Before filling the pie crust with the quiche batter, blind bake the crust by putting a piece of parchment paper inside the crust and some weights (dried beans work great) then baking for 15 minutes at 375℉.
Directions For The Filling
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. Heat a skillet and add the butter.
While the skillet heats, begin dicing the mushrooms.
When the skillet is ready, add the mushrooms, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook until browned and tender. Turn the heat off and set it aside.
Crack the eggs into a dish, and add the cream. Mix well.
Set aside.
Grate cheese if needed.
Spread a cup or half of the grated cheese at the base of the crust,
Add the mushrooms.
Then pour the egg and milk batter over.
Top with the left over cheese.
Sprinkle a bit of paprika for garnish. Place the quiche into the oven and allow it to continue baking for 45 to 50 minutes. Or until the center of the quiche just sets.
FAQ
What mushrooms work best for this Mushroom Swiss Quiche?
I like to use baby Bellas, Portobellos, or white button mushrooms when making this quiche. You can do all of one sort of mushroom or a variety of them.
Can I use a store-bought crust for this instead?
Absolutely! Store-bought crusts will work just fine for this recipe
