QUICK MUSHROOM AND BACON QUICHE image

Yield 6 people

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pre-made pie shell
4 slices thick-cut bacon, chopped into 1" wide pieces
2 cups sliced mushrooms, such as Crimini or Button
1 1/2 cups diced onion
1 clove chopped garlic
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3 eggs
1 cup milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper
1/8 tsp. black pepper

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Celsius. If pie shell is frozen, take out to thaw. 2. In a large frying pan, fry bacon until beginning to crisp. Set aside on paper-towel lined plate. 3. Remove all but 1 tbsp of bacon grease; try to reserve drippings for flavour. Add mushrooms and fry until beginning to soften. Add onions and garlic and fry until slightly caramelized. Take off of heat, stir bacon back into pan, and set aside. 4. Mix together eggs, milk, salt, parsley, and both peppers. Beat until well blended. 5. Spread half of the cheese along the bottom of the pie shell. Spoon bacon and mushroom mixture over top, and top with remaining cheese. Pour egg mixture carefully over the cheese, ensuring it goes evenly through the other ingredients. 6. Put pie on lower rack and bake for 10 minutes. Turn heat down to 350 and cook for 30-35 more minutes, or until golden on top and done. Cool slightly before cutting, to ensure that the egg sets. Enjoy!
