MUSHROOM GRUYERE QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°In a medium sauce pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the sliced mushrooms and sauté, stirring frequently, until most of the moisture has absorbed from the pan. Add the chopped thyme, and 1/8 tsp salt and pepper to the mushrooms. Continue to sauté for an additional minute or two. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
• Roll your pie crust into your pie plate. Grate the gruyere directly into the bottom of the prepared crust. Leave 1/4 (1.5 oz) of the block of cheese for the top of the quiche. Arrange the cooked mushrooms over the cheese in a nice, even layer..
• In a large measuring cup, combine 3 eggs, 1 cup whole milk, and 1/4 tsp salt and pepper. Whisk to combine. Pour this custard over the filling. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 of the gruyere.

LEEK, MUSHROOM & GRUYèRE QUICHE

Steps:

• To make the pastry, tip the flour and butter into a bowl, then rub together with your fingertips until completely mixed and crumbly. Add 8 tbsp cold water, then bring everything together with your hands until just combined. Roll into a ball and use straight away or chill for up to 2 days. The pastry can also be frozen for up to a month.
• Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface to a round about 5cm larger than a 25cm tin. Use your rolling pin to lift it up, then drape over the tart case so there is an overhang of pastry on the sides. Using a small ball of pastry scraps, push the pastry into the corners of the tin (see picture, above left). Chill in the fridge or freezer for 20 mins. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
• While the pastry is chilling, heat the butter in a pan and cook the leeks for 10 mins, stirring occasionally, until they soften. Then turn up the heat and add the mushrooms. Cook for 5 mins more, then turn off the heat.
• Lightly prick the base of the tart with a fork, line the tart case with a large circle of greaseproof paper or foil, then fill with baking beans. Blind-bake the tart for 20 mins, remove the paper and beans, then continue to cook for 5-10 mins until biscuit brown
• While the tart case cooks, beat the eggs in a bowl, then gradually add the cream. Stir in the leeks, mushrooms and half the cheese. Season, then tip the filling into the tart case. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese, then bake for 20-25 mins until set and golden brown. Leave to cool in the case, trim the edges of the pastry, then remove and serve in slices.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.

Add the buttermilk and pulse 3 to 5 times more to combine. Form the mixture into a ball and place it between 2 large pieces of waxed paper. Roll out into a circle about 10 inches in diameter.
• Remove the top sheet of waxed paper. Transfer the crust, still on the other piece of waxed paper to the pie dish, then remove the waxed paper from the top. Press the crust gently into the dish. Bake for 9 minutes, then let cool.
• To prepare the filling, heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large nonstick pan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan and heat over a medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have released their water and begin to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the onions back to the pan, stir in the salt, pepper, mustard and thyme.

WILD MUSHROOM QUICHE WITH WALNUT CRUST

Steps:

• For the crust: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Pulse together the walnuts, flour, sugar and salt to a fine meal in a food processor. Pulse in the butter until it forms to a crumbly dough. Press into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch springform pan. Place on a baking sheet and bake until lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove and let cool.
• For the filling: Reduce the oven temperature to 325 degrees F. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over high heat. Add the wild mushrooms and white mushrooms and season with 1 teaspoon salt and some pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat to medium; add the butter, shallots and thyme. Cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes more. Adjust the seasoning and set aside.
• Combine the Parmesan and Comte cheeses in a small bowl and set aside. Scatter half of the mushrooms and half the cheese evenly over the crust. Whisk the eggs, milk, heavy cream and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until smooth and frothy. Pour half the egg mixture over the mushrooms. Repeat with the remaining mushrooms and egg mixture and top with the remaining cheese.
• Bake the quiche until golden brown on top and just set with a little wiggle in the very center, 50 to 60 minutes. Run a clean paring knife between the crust and the pan to separate. Let cool slightly for 25 minutes.

Bake, rotating pan halfway through, until crust is golden brown and crisp, about 35 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack.
