Mushroom Quiche

Oven-roasted mushrooms and garlic are incorporated into this eggy delight to create an earthy, aromatic quiche. A pinch of ground white pepper adds a little sharpness to the filling while finely chopped pecans add to the rich, buttery taste of the pâte brisée. Altogether, this quiche is pure comfort.

Ingredients

3 cups (240 grams) gourmet blend mushrooms1 clove garlic (5 grams), minced2 teaspoons (10 grams) olive oilPecan Pâte Brisée (recipe follows) cups (420 grams) heavy whipping cream1 cup (240 grams) whole milk7 large eggs (350 grams)2 teaspoons (6 grams) kosher salt½ teaspoon (1 gram) ground white pepper

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Spray a tall-sided 10-inch fluted round removable-bottom tart pan with baking spray with flour.
In a medium bowl, combine mushrooms, garlic, and oil. Place on prepared pan.
Bake until mushrooms are tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool completely. Leave oven on.
On a lightly floured surface, roll Pecan Pâte Brisée into a 14-inch circle. Transfer to prepared pan, pressing into bottom and up sides. Trim edges, if necessary. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
Top prepared crust with a piece of parchment paper. Add pie weights. Place on a baking sheet.
Bake until crust is mostly dry and set, 35 to 40 minutes. Carefully remove parchment and weights, and bake until inside of crust is dry and edges are starting to turn golden brown, about 5 minutes more. Let cool completely. Reduce oven temperature to 325°F (170°C).
In a large bowl, whisk together cream, milk, eggs, salt, and white pepper until well combined.
In bottom of prepared crust, place mushrooms. Place tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet, and place in oven. Quickly but carefully pour cream mixture into crust.
