Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup half and half
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Asiago cheese, shredded
- 2 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
- 1 tsp fresh cracked black pepper
- 1 cup cremini mushrooms, thinly sliced
- 1 ounce dried wild mushrooms reconstituted* and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and generously butter and flour your pie plate.
- Whisk the eggs together in a large mixing bowl. I like to use my electric beaters just to get them well broken up. Blend in the half and half and cream. Fold in the shredded cheese, thyme, salt and pepper.
- Add the fresh and reconstituted wild mushrooms and stir to combine. Turn into your prepared pie dish. Gently nudge the solids so that they are more or less evenly arranged.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes or until puffed and not jiggly in the center. The very center may look slightly underdone, but that will firm up as the quiche cools. Remember that ovens cook differently so your time might be different from mine.
- Slice and serve your quiche while warm.

Notes
- *To reconstitute dried mushrooms:
- Place mushrooms in a bowl.
- Cover with very hot water.
- Soak for 20-30 minutes.
- Drain, reserving liquid if needed.
- Pat mushrooms dry.
- Chop the mushrooms before using in your crustless quiche.
