MUSHROOM QUICHE RECIPE

Steps:

• To begin making Mushroom Quiche, first prepare the crust. You can do this in a food processor or in a mixing bowl.
• If you are using a food processor simply add flour, salt and butter into the food processor and pulse until the butter is coated on the flour and it resembles scraggly bread crumbs.
• Next, add grated Parmesan cheese with 2 tablespoons of water and pulse again couple of times. This results into a crumbled dough. Empty the food processor onto a work surface and knead slightly until the crust comes together into a soft dough.
• If you are using a mixing bowl add the flour, salt and butter into a mixing bowl. Using your fingers rub the butter into the flour till it breaks down and resembles bread crumbs. Then add the Parmesan cheese and cold water and bring it together by gently kneading it, till it forms a soft dough.
• Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1/2 hour.
• Meanwhile, proceed to make the filling. Set your oven to pre-heat at 200 degrees C.
• Place a pan on the heat. Add to it, garlic, shallots and mushrooms. Sprinkle some salt and cook together until the mushroom is softened and it releases water.
• Continue cooking until all the water evaporates from the pan. Switch off the heat at this stage, add pepper, parsley, garlic powder into the mushrooms and stir well. Set it aside.
• Remove the prepared dough from refrigerator and roll it out on a lightly dusted surface, into a 1/4 inch thick disc.
• Drape the disc over your pie pan, allowing the edges to overhang. Press it into the pie pan, so that the dough fits neatly.
• Spread a layer of mozzarella cheese over the crust, then add a layer of cooked mushrooms. Pour the beaten eggs on the top. Sprinkle some cheese on top.
• Place the prepared quiche in the oven and bake at 180-190 degrees C for 30 minutes or until the custard is set and cooked through.
• When done, take it out of the oven.
• Serve the Mushroom Quiche with a summery Beetroot Salad with Mixed Greens & Feta Cheese for a light working lunch.

QUICHE

Steps:

• This recipe works great as a stand-alone dish, but also as a component in Jamie's Picnic Love from Together - see the full collection of menus here.
• GET AHEAD You can make this all on the day, if you prefer. Equally, you can cook the whole thing the night before, and enjoy cold. Whatever works for you! Put the flour, butter and a pinch of sea salt into a food processor and pulse for 15 seconds, until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Add 4 tablespoons of water and pulse for a few more seconds until it comes together. Scoop on to a flour-dusted work surface and push and pat into a round - don't be tempted to knead it. Wrap and rest in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Lightly oil a non-stick loose-bottomed tart tin (25cm diameter, 4cm deep). Roll out the pastry on a flour-dusted surface, turning it every so often, until it's just under ½cm thick. Gently roll it up around the rolling pin, then unroll it over the oiled tin and ease it into the sides, letting the excess pastry overhang. Prick the base all over with a fork, place on a baking tray, then bake blind for 30 minutes, or until lightly golden. Cool, trim off the excess pastry, and store in an airtight container
• Prep your chosen veg - peel, carefully halve and deseed the squash, then dice into 2cm chunks, or clean and slice the mushrooms. Put a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Peel and finely slice the onion and garlic, then place in the pan with 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add your chosen veg and cook for 30 minutes, or until soft and starting to caramelize, stirring occasionally and adding splashes of water to prevent it sticking, if needed. Season to perfection, then leave to cool. Tip into a blender, crack in the eggs, add the cream and grate in the Cheddar, then blitz until smooth, cover and refrigerate overnight.
• ON THE DAY Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Pour the filling into the pastry case, then crumble over the goat's cheese. Rub the thyme sprigs with a little oil, then pick the tips and leaves over the tart. Bake for 40 minutes exactly, then remove and leave to cool, ready to wrap and go.
