Ham and Mushroom Quiche

Dec 28, 2022 by JCP

Hey, y'all! I have a confession: I am obsessed with quiche. It's the perfect dish, as it can stand alone or be a great main course. It keeps well and is also ideal for company. The best part? You can nearly put anything in a quiche -- if you have a vegetable that you need to use up in your refrigerator, chop it up and add it! I'm excited to share the recipe for one of my favorite quiches with y'all today, my Ham and Mushroom Quiche. I hope you love it as much as I do!

Ham and Mushroom Quiche: Frequently Asked Questions

What type of pie crust should I use when making a quiche?

I always use frozen pie crusts when making quiche -- I've never found the payoff for homemade crust to be worth it. Simply allow the pie crust to thaw on the counter while you are stirring together the quiche, dock the bottom with a fork, and it'll be ready to go!

What's my secret to fantastic quiche?

After you dock your pie crust with a fork, baste the bottom and sides of the pie shell with dijon mustard. Try it once and thank me later!

How long should you bake a quiche?

Bake your quiche at 350F for roughly 30-35 minutes or until the top has browned + a toothpick comes out clean from the center.

I have extra filling for the quiche - what should I do with it?

Throw it in the skillet and cook it up -- it'll be the best scrambled eggs you've ever had!

    We used bacon and broccoli, too, and it was fantastic. Dijon painted crust is a game changer!!!

    This was fantastic! Thanks for the recipe. I was trying to use up some ham and other ingredients that I had on hand so used seeded Bavarian mustard and gruyere/Swiss shredded cheese. My pie crust was small, so only used 3 eggs and 3/4 cup cream and it was just the right amount to fill the crust. My son is a French chef 👨‍🍳 and I think this was just as good as his quiche.
