Best Portabella Mushroom Quiche Recipes

PORTABELLA MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:

• Saute mushrooms in hot butter until they are crisp and browned, then stir in garlic and stir fry for 2 minutes; stir in the tomatoes and set aside.
• Now, make pastry: Mix flour and salt in bowl, then cut in butter and shortening with a pastry cutter until crumbly.
• Add milk, one tablespoon at a time; mix lightly until all is moistened; add more milk if necessary.
• Gather in a ball and roll out between 2 sheets of wax paper, peel off one sheet, place pastry onto 8 or 9-inch pie plate and peel off 2nd sheet; fit nicely into shell and crimp edges; paint edges with small amount of unbeaten egg white.
• Or, if you don't want to make pastry, use a prepared crust and paint edges as above.
• Now make custard: Beat together the whipping cream, egg yolks and spices; stir in basil.
• Now fill unbaked pie shell with mushroom mix, then pour custard over.
• Bake in a preheated 375F oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until custard is set and deeply browned.
• Let set 5 minutes before cutting.

SAUSAGE, ONION AND PORTABELLA MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350*. Lightly spray a 9" deep dish pie plate with cooking oil and set aside.
• Mix the corn flake crumbs with the melted butter. Using the back of a spoon, press into the bottom (not the sides) of the pie plate and bake for 5 minutes. Set aside.
• In a medium sized non-stick skillet, fry sausage until cooked and browned. (Mashing with a fork while cooking, will make it crumble nicely.) Drain the sausage on several paper towels, and set aside.
• Wipe the skillet dry using paper towels. Add the mushrooms and onions, and fry until the onions begin to soften. Dry frying will bring out the flavour in both the onions and the mushrooms. Toss with 3/4 cup reserved sausage and sprinkle over the cornflake crust. Top with shredded cheese.
• Mix together eggs, cream, thyme, salt and pepper. Carefully pour this mixture into the pie plate, so as not to disturb the crust. Sprinkle with chives.
• Bake at 350* for 35 minutes or until set and beginning to brown around the edge. Cool for 5 minutes before cutting.
