This mushroom quiche recipe is a rich, savory classic perfect for brunch or dinner. It features a golden, flaky crust filled with sautéed mushrooms, creamy egg custard, melted cheese, and aromatic herbs for a comforting, crowd-pleasing dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 9-inch pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 8 oz mushrooms (cremini or button), sliced
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese (or Swiss)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Place pie crust into a 9-inch pie dish and set aside.
  • In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes.
  • Stir in mushrooms and garlic. Cook until mushrooms are golden and moisture has evaporated—about 8–10 minutes.
  • In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and thyme.
  • Spread sautéed vegetables into the pie crust. Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  • Pour egg mixture evenly over the filling.
  • Bake for 35–40 minutes or until center is set and top is golden.
  • Let cool 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute Gruyère with cheddar, mozzarella, or feta for different flavor twists.
  • Let ingredients come to room temperature before mixing for best texture.
  • Great served warm or cold—perfect for make-ahead brunches!
