Breakfast Quiche
Description
The Breakfast Quiche starts with a pie crust that is prebaked with parchment and weight to ensure a crisp base. The filling combines sautéed mushrooms and chopped bacon layered with shredded mozzarella cheese. A mixture of eggs and heavy cream is whisked and poured over the filling, binding everything together as it bakes.
Baking the quiche until the custard is firm ensures the filling holds well with a smooth, creamy texture from the eggs and cream. The cooked mushrooms and bacon add a mixture of earthy and smoky flavors, complemented by the mozzarella's mild creaminess.
This quiche is well suited to be served warm for breakfast or brunch and can be paired with a simple green salad for a balanced meal. The recipe’s straightforward baking process and common ingredients make it accessible for home cooks seeking a classic savory egg pie.
Ingredients
- 1 pie crust
- 1 cup mushrooms sauteed
- 1 cup Bacon pre-cooked, chopped
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 3 egg
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste

Instructions
- On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pastry. Transfer the crust into a pie pan (8-9 inches wide and 2 inch deep). Trim pastry off the edges of the pie pan.
- Cover the pie crust with parchment paper. Fill it with rice or peas to hold the pie crust down. Bake at 350 °F for 30 minutes. Remove the pie crust from the oven, let it cool down and remove the rice from the crust.

- Whisk eggs together with heavy cream, pour over filled pie crust.
- Bake at 375 °F for about 30 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
