Seafood Quiche
Description
The preparation begins optionally with blind baking the pie crust to ensure a crisp base. Cremini mushrooms are sautéed in butter until golden, then cooled. Eggs and half-and-half are beaten together and mixed with the cooled mushrooms, seafood, chopped onions, asparagus, dried thyme, salt, and pepper.
This mixture is poured into the prepared crust or a sprayed quiche pan if crustless. The quiche is topped with grated Gruyere cheese and baked at 350°F until set and a knife inserted near the center comes out clean, typically 30-45 minutes.
The resulting quiche presents a rich, savory custard with tender vegetable pieces and seafood, balanced by the nuttiness of Gruyere. It can be served warm or at room temperature for brunch, lunch, or light dinner occasions.
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 8 ounces cremini mushroom sliced
- 6 egg
- 2 cup half and half
- 8 ounces seafood ideally raw
- 1/2 cup onion chopped
- 1/2 cup asparagus chopped
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup gruyere cheese or swiss cheese
Instructions
- (Optional) Blind bake the crust if using. Fit the crust to an 10 inch tart pan, deep pie pan or the equivalent. Poke holes in the bottom, line with parchment and pie weights, then bake at 375 for 15 minutes. Remove the parchment and bake about another 10 minutes until bottom is dry and just starting to brown. Remove from the oven. Crust can be filled warm or cooled.
- Sautee sliced mushrooms in butter until they turn golden. Let cool.
- Beat eggs and half & half together
- Mix in remaining ingredients (including cooled mushrooms), except for 1/2 cup of the cheese.
- If going crustless, spray a 10 inch quiche pan (or deep pie pan) with non-stick cooking spray. Pour in filling to pan or pre-baked crust.
- Top with remaining 1/2 cup cheese
- Bake at 350 until knife inserted near center comes out clean, 30-45 minutes.
