SPINACH MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the mushrooms, garlic and thyme. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have browned, 5 to 6 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove the skillet from the heat.
• Press the pie crust into a deep, 9-inch tart pan with a removeable bottom (or a deep-dish pie pan). Layer the mushrooms and spinach into the crust and top with the cheese.
• Whisk together the half-and-half, eggs and a good pinch of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Pour the egg mixture into the crust.
• Place the pan on a rimmed baking sheet. Lightly cover the pan with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes. Remove the foil and continue baking until the quiche is set and the crust is golden brown, another 10 to 15 minutes. Let the quiche sit for 10 to 15 minutes, then remove from the pan, slice and serve.

Stir in the milk, eggs, savory, salt and cayenne until blended. Stir in mushroom mixture.

FRESH HERBS QUICHE

Steps:

• Crust: Pulse flour and salt in a food processor until combined. Add butter and pulse until mixture resembles coarse meal. Whisk together egg and yolk with ice water. Add to flour mixture and pulse until moist crumbs start to form (no longer). Transfer mixture to a piece of plastic wrap and, using wrap and your hands, form into a disk (or 2 disks, if making 2 quiches in pie plates). Refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 4 hours.
• Let sit at room temperature until pliable, then roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to a 14-inch round. Fit into a 9-inch springform pan, folding and pressing sides to an even thickness. (Or roll out 2 disks to 11-inch rounds and fit into 8- or 9-inch pie plates.)
• Trim edge of dough flush with top of springform pan. (If using pie plates, fold edges of dough under; crimp as desired.) Wrap in plastic; freeze at least 30 minutes and up to 3 days. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Line crust with parchment; fill with dried beans or pie weights. Bake, with a baking sheet on rack below, 20 minutes; remove paper and beans. Bake until golden, 12 to 15 minutes (8 to 10 minutes, for pie plates). Let cool.
• Reduce oven to 375 degrees. Whisk eggs until smooth, then whisk in remaining ingredients until well combined.
• Pour custard mixture into cooled crust, stopping just short of top (if making in 2 pie plates, divide evenly between crusts). You may not need to use all of custard; be careful not to overfill.
• Arrange herb sprigs on top. Bake 10 minutes at 375 degrees, then about 55 minutes at 325 degrees. Let cool about 1 hour before serving.
