MUSHROOM & SWISS CHEESE QUICHE
This is a great dish to serve to company...it makes a nice lunch along with a crisp green salad. At Christmas time I made it the day before and then reheated it...tasted just as good as fresh from the oven.

Steps:
- For Pastry: Sift together the flour and salt.
- Using a pastry blender, cut the shortening in until mixture resembles cornmeal.
- Slowly sprinkle ice water over the top, while tossing the mixture up from the bottom of the bowl with a fork.
- Gather the dough into a ball, using only enough water to hold the ball together.
- Wrap ball in waxed paper and refrigerate for 20 minutes.
- Remove from fridge and roll out into a circle which is 2 inches larger than the diameter of the pie pan being used.
- Put dough into pan.
- Place a piece of aluminum foil on the bottom and up the sides of the pie pan.
- Fill with dry beans (this will stop the pastry from puffing up during baking).
- Bake in preheated 450F degree oven, on lowest rack, for 12 minutes.
- Take from oven and remove beans and foil (be careful, they will be hot).
- Meanwhile, prepare filling: Melt butter, add onions and cook for 1 minute.
- Stir in mushrooms, 1 tsp salt and lemon juice.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are done and all the liquid has evaporated.
- Continue frying the mushrooms in the butter for about 1 minute.
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and cream together.
- Add the remaining salt, pepper and nutmeg.
- Stir in the mushrooms.
- Pour into prepared pastry shell, sprinkle with swiss cheese and dot with softened butter.
- Bake in preheated 350F degree oven for 35 minutes or until quiche is puffy and browned, and a knife inserted into center comes out clean.
- Let sit for 10 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- To save time, use a pre-made pie crust or puff pastry sheet.
- If you don't have Gruyère cheese, you can substitute another type of hard cheese, such as cheddar or Parmesan.
- For a vegetarian quiche, omit the bacon.
- To make the quiche ahead of time, bake it according to the recipe instructions, then let it cool completely. Wrap the quiche tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 3 days. When ready to serve, reheat the quiche in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
- Serve the quiche with a side salad or soup.
