Mushroom Quiche

If you follow my blog regularly then you already know that I'm a lover of mushrooms. It's a weird food to love, I know, but I've always enjoyed them, raw or cooked. When I found this recipe in Costco's cookbook In the Kitchen: The Costco Way, 2008 I was very excited. When I think about picnics with my family I think of quiche. And with the warmer weather approaching (I hope!) I thought you might enjoy this quiche for your next picnic.

Famous Mushroom Quiche

1 unbaked 9-inch pie shell

4 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

1 tablespoon butter

1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

2 tablespoons flour

3 eggs, lightly beaten

1 1/4 cups milk

1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Bake pie shell for 10 minutes, remove and let cool.

Saute mushrooms in butter over medium-high heat until tender. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. 

In a bowl, toss cheese with flour; add eggs, milk, parsley, garlic salt and pepper. Stir in mushrooms. Pour into crust. 

Bake for 1 hour, or until set, covering edges with foil to prevent overbrowning, if needed. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting. Take to the park and enjoy!
