How To Make mushroom quiche

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375ºF and place pie dough in a 9-inch pie plate; set aside.

In a non-stick skillet, add chopped bacon. Turn the heat on medium and render the fat slowly. Cook for 10 minutes or until crispy.
Step 3

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the bacon to a bowl and set aside.
Step 4

Melt butter and add onions; sauté for 1 minute. Add peppers and sauté for 1 minute.
Step 5

Add mushrooms, toss to coat in butter, and season with freshly ground black pepper; stir constantly for 2 minutes. Let them cook for 8 minutes.
Step 6

Add garlic and thyme; sauté for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Step 7

In a large bowl, combine beaten eggs, heavy cream, cheese, parsley, paprika, and nutmeg. Whisk until blended.
Step 8

Add the bacon and mushroom mixture to the eggs; stir to mix.
Step 9

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie plate and spread evenly; cover the edges with a crust shield.
Step 10

Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes or until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean.

Remove from the heat and let it rest for 7 to 8 minutes before serving.
