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
Ham and Mushroom Quiche: Frequently Asked Questions
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!
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!
Bake your quiche at 350F for roughly 30-35 minutes or until the top has browned + a toothpick comes out clean from the center.
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!!!
