Pioneer Woman's Cowgirl Quiche image

Mom and I are cooking one different recipe each week from The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Food From My Frontier cookbook and reporting out.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

16 oz white mushrooms, cleaned and cut into quarters
2 medium leeks, washed thoroughly and chopped
2 Tbsp butter
8 eggs
1 1/2 c heavy cream
2 c swiss cheese, grated
salt and pepper
8 slice prosciutto (thin slices-rough chop) or good ham
1 9" pie crust or crust for a deep dish pie

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • 2. Place quartered mushrooms on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
  • 3. Finely chop the cleaned leeks. Saute them over medium heat in butter for 8-10 minutes (or until they begin to brown slightly and caramelize).
  • 4. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and cream together, stir in the cooled mushrooms, leeks, cheese, prosciutto, salt and pepper
  • 5. Pour into a pie shell, cover loosely with foil and bake for 45 minutes at 400. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 minutes.
  • 6. Remove from the oven and allow it to sit 10 minutes before cutting. (*a variation she provides but I didn't do includes stirring in 2 tablespoons of Pesto into the quiche mixture before baking.)
