Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Fit the pie crust into a 9-inch pie pan and crimp the edges. Pre-bake for 10 minutes to prevent a soggy bottom.
  3. In a skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove, crumble, and set aside. Sauté the mushrooms in the bacon fat until tender.
  4. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.
  5. Sprinkle the bacon, mushrooms, and cheese evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the top, ensuring an even distribution.
  7. Bake the quiche for 40-45 minutes until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
  8. Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Chef’s Tips

  • For extra flavor, add sautéed onions or leeks to the filling.
  • Ensure the pie crust is well-chilled before pre-baking to maintain its shape.
  • If the crust edges brown too quickly, cover them with foil during baking.
