Family and friends will delight in this savory quiche from Michelle Fincher of Lyman, South Carolina. Mushrooms and green onions bring fresh flavor, while cheese and bacon lend a touch of decadence. Ingredients:
1 unbaked pastry shell (9 inches) |
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms |
1/2 cup chopped green onions |
2 tablespoons butter |
4 eggs |
1-1/4 cups half-and-half cream |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded swiss cheese |
4 bacon strips, cooked and crumbled |
Directions:
1. Line unpricked pastry shell with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil. Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Remove from the oven; reduce heat to 375°.
2. Meanwhile, in a small skillet, saute mushrooms and onions in butter until tender. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, cream and pepper. Using a slotted spoon, transfer mushrooms and onions to egg mixture. Stir in cheese and bacon.
3. Pour into crust. Cover edges loosely with foil. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting. Yield: 6 servings.
