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!

We picked about 9 pounds of strawberries and I'm looking forward to eating them! 🍓

I don't have clear words to express my feelings ab I don't have clear words to express my feelings about the state of the world lately. As a teacher and a mother, it has been extra difficult this week to be fully present in my roles without thinking about innocent lives that should have had longer on Earth. How what has happened in each of the many mass shootings this year can happen anywhere. If you are feeling sad and frustrated too, you are not alone.

I don't have answers, but I'm trying to take care of myself and my biological and school families. I'm saying "I love you" a lot to my children and my students. I'm closely following and sharing the work of @everytown while contacting my state and federal representatives and the president. I'm going for walks and getting fresh air and trying not to overload on news. I'm sharing good resources in my stories as I see them.
UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @aloh UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @alohr3!

 @thelazygenius' second book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, is finally here and I'm so excited! I don't purchase many books, but I pre-ordered this last July because I knew it would be right up my alley and then I pre-ordered a second copy because I knew that I'd want to give one away.

Author Kendra Adachi has been one of my favorite voices in recent years. Her principles (shared through her first book, The Lazy Genius Podcast and her Instagram) have helped me focus my priorities and give myself more grace. 

This book is NOT a cookbook (it has just 2 recipes), it is a kitchen guide - to help you "have what you need, use what you have, and enjoy it like never before". It is beautiful (full color!) and thoughtful.

I'm very excited to send this book to one of you.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment below with one of your greatest kitchen struggles. 
I'll draw a winner at 8 pm on Friday, May 6.

This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berk This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berkshire Teacher and Social Worker Appreciation Day free admission. After enjoying the student Art Invitational exhibit, the 4 of us took in several of the other galleries. Mass MoCA always impresses and it was delightful to be able to be out in the world with my kids.

Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, in its new location on Main Street in North Adams. The shop is incredible - the displays are great and the plants are delightful. There's a refill station with bottles and jars for soaps, detergents and other products, a terrarium bar, and an abundance of sustainable and beautiful products. I'm now in the process of pondering who I can purchase Plant Connector gifts for in the coming months.

This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuse This is your periodic reminder that @berkshiremuseum is a great visit for all ages. The current Voyage to the Deep exhibit, which involves an interactive Nautilus submarine that my 5 year old spent literally hours in.  We also thoroughly enjoyed the Aquarium and Berkshire Backyard. Highly recommended - we'll be back soon!

But, in the interest of full transparency, this pie was made with Pillsbury pie crusts and a $5 bag of Walmart Granny Smiths. I used the recipe on the pie crust box.
I am very excited to eat it.
