Seafood Quiche
Seafood Quiche combines sautéed cremini mushrooms, seafood, onions, asparagus, and thyme baked in an egg and half-and-half custard with Gruyere cheese. This savory quiche has a golden top and a tender, creamy filling infused with herbs and seafood flavors, served in a crust or crustless.
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.
