Makes one 9-inch quiche
Ingredients:
- 1 pre-made pie crust, refrigerated
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 4 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- ½ onion, thinly sliced
- ½ teaspoon of salt, divided
- ½ bunch of asparagus, or about 1 cup chopped asparagus
- ½ cup frozen peas
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ¼ teaspoon paprika
- Pepper, to taste
- 1 and ½ cup of The Creamery Green Onion cheese
Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Remove pie crust from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature for 10 minutes.
Prepare and prebake crust. Unroll the prepackaged crust into a 9-inch pie plate and press into the sides and bottom of the plate. Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork several times and bake for 15 minutes.
Lower the oven temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
Meanwhile, preheat a pan over medium-to-high heat.
Add vegetable oil and when heated, add in the mushrooms. Sauté until they release most of their liquid and deepen in color, about 4 minutes.
Add in the onions and ¼ teaspoon of salt. Cook for 6 more minutes to let the onions brown and slightly caramelized.
Chop asparagus into half-inch sized pieces and add to the pan along with the frozen peas and butter. Cook until all the vegetables have turned a bright green, about 3 to 4 minutes. Turn off heat and set aside.
Mix the egg filling. Whisk together eggs, half and half, Dijon, paprika, ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper.
Assemble the quiche. Layer the cooked mushrooms, onions, asparagus, and peas onto the pie crust, then a layer of shredded cheese. Repeat with the remaining vegetables and cheese.
Bake for 30 minutes, until the top of the quiche is evenly browned.
Let cool slightly and enjoy!
