The flaky crust and custard filling make it a perfect vehicle for a variety of mix-ins.Baking the crust before adding the filling, known as blind baking, ensures it won't get soggy. Our favorite pie dough recipe is Basic Pie Crust. Ingredients All-purpose flour, for rolling 1 homemade or store-bought single-crust pie dough 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2 cups thinly sliced shallots Coarse salt and ground pepper 6 large eggs ¾ cup heavy cream ¾ pound mushrooms, thinly sliced and sauteed 1 cup grated Fontina (4 ounces) Directions Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lightly flour a rolling pin and work surface and roll out dough to a 12-inch round. Place in a 9-inch pie plate, fold overhang under, and crimp edge. Place a sheet of parchment paper over dough and fill with pie weights or dried beans. Bake until edge is dry and light golden, about 20 minutes. Remove parchment and weights. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high. Add shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook until light golden, 8 to 10 minutes. In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs and cream. Add shallots, mushrooms, and cheese and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Whisk to combine, pour into crust, and bake until center of quiche is just set, 40 to 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature. Cook's Notes To store, refrigerate cooled quiche, tightly covered, up to 3 days. To reheat quiche, cover with foil and place in a 325 degrees oven until warmed, about 15 minutes. Originally appeared: Everyday Food, December 2011 Rate It PRINT
