Greens, Swiss Cheese & Mushroom Quiche

Published on May 19, 2015 By Emily. Updated on August 8, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It seems like it happened almost overnight, though I’m sure that’s not the case in reality.  After a long, long winter, spring (and summer?) is here.  The flowers in my front garden are out of control, I’m loving the weather, the ice cream shops are open and my students are so ready to be done with school.

This change in the weather makes me happier and more energetic, but it also makes me want to eat only “summer” foods.  We’re still a couple weeks away from resuming CSA pick ups, but I want to eat nothing but salads and fruit and other light foods.  As a result, I made this quiche last week.  It was pretty great, and so I share it with you.  Also, as an aside, apparently my husband “loves” mushrooms now.  I’m not sure when or how that happened.

Greens, Swiss Cheese & Mushroom Quiche

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 40 mins
Cook Time 40 mins
Servings 6 -8 servings

Ingredients
  

For the crust

  • 1/2 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon shortening
  • 3 to 5 tablespoons cold water

For the filling

  • 1 cup diced mushrooms I used baby portabellas
  • 2 cups greens I used kale and spinach
  • 6 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
  • olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Make the crust: Combine the flours and salt in a small bowl. Cut in the shortening with a pastry blender, knives or your fingers until the dough pieces are the size of small peas. Add the water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir until a ball of dough forms. I usually do the final mixing with my fingers
  • Roll the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for 45 minutes
  • Prepare your filling ingredients In a medium skillet, cook your mushrooms in a tablespoon of olive oil until soft. Add the greens and cook until wilted. Set aside.
  • Assemble your quiche: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Remove the dough from the fridge and use a rolling pin to roll it into a disc that will fit in your pie plate, about 11 inches. Press the crust into the pie plate.
  • Crack the eggs into a medium bowl and use a fork to beat them lightly. Add the cooled mushroom and greens mixture and the shredded cheese. Stir to combine.
  • Pour the filling into the quiche crust and bake at 425 uncovered for 40 minutes. If the crust is browning too quickly, you may cover it with foil. When the filling is set, remove from the oven and let sit for 5-10 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!

For the fourth year, I've recapped the best new (to me) recipes I made this year in the hope that they'll give you some new dishes to try. This year's list is short, but delicious. It includes @budgetbytes My Favorite Recipes of 2022
Published on December 30, 2022 By Emily. Updated on December 30, 2022

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
