Quiche with Mushrooms, Onions and Bacon
Now with the cool fall weather it’s time to bake quiches and tarts! I like them because they can be sweet or savory and there are endless combinations to try. With mushrooms out now, I chose to use them along with bacon.
The recipe for the dough is the same I use for tarts or pies, it’s my favorite and easy to make! I make this quiche in a 9-inch tart (quiche) pan with removable bottom, and I’ll admit after I bought this pan I started making quiches and tarts more since it makes it much easier. When you are preparing thedough, you should definitely use cold ingredients – cold butter and ice water.
I used baby Portobello Mushrooms, but you can use any mushrooms you like, it will be especially tasty with wild mushrooms.
Delicious savory quiche, perfect for the weather!

Ingredients
- 113 g butter unsalted, for the dough
- 200 g flour sifted, for the dough

- 1 tbsp thyme leaves, for the filling
- salt, pepper to taste, for the filling
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream for the filling

Instructions
- Cut the butter into small cubes and place in the refrigerator for a couple of minutes.

- Roll out the dough and place in a tart pan, prick with a fork, cover with parchment paper, then add the beans (I don't have pie weights and usually using beans) then put to bake in a preheated 180'C (360F) oven for 15min. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Put the mushrooms and onions on the lightly chilled dough and add bacon.
- Beat the egg and cream with a fork in a bowl, salt and pepper and pour in the mushrooms and bacon. Put back in the oven for 25 minutes. Cool slightly before serving.
