This Swiss cheese and mushroom quiche is a variation of the basic quiche recipe, the same one that I used to make the feta and spinach quiche earlier this month. I added a touch of our special truffle salt – salt with 5% dried black truffles! The small amount of truffle salt in its little jar is immensely powerful and adds a really gourmand touch to this mushroom quiche.
Swiss and Mushroom Quiche
Servings 4
Ingredients
- 1 9- inch pie crust
- 1 Tbsp butter
- 2 cups sliced mushrooms
- 3/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese like gruyere or Emmental
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 12- oz can undiluted evaporated milk
- ¼ teaspoon dry mustard
- ¼ teaspoon truffle salt
- 1/4 tsp ground pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F (180C).
- Parbake the crust for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside.
- In a large frying pan over high heat, melt butter.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and saute until golden brown. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Sprinkle half the Swiss cheese over the pie crust. Evenly spread the mushrooms on top of the cheese, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese.
- Place the crust on a baking sheet (to prevent spills).
- Beat together eggs and combine with evaporated milk, dry mustard, truffle salt and pepper.
- Carefully pour egg mixture (custard) over the filling ingredients.
- Bake in a preheated 350F (180C) for 35 to 40 minutes or until a knife inserted near the centre comes out clean. Let stand for 5 to 10 minutes before cutting into wedges to serve.
Truffle salt. Now I know how to use it! I saw it in a speciality spice shop in town and wondered how I could use it. Quiche is one of my easy summer meals to make with a tossed salad or fruit platter.
