Mushroom Chive Quiche

This mushroom chive quiche is about as simple as it gets. Using a store-bought frozen crust makes this doable any time the craving strikes.

Um hello, beautiful rich and perfect quiche. It’s nice to meet you! What a crowd-pleaser this one is and the best part: it’s a “shortcut” recipe, which means you can easily throw it together without an extra trip to the store.

My favorite thing about quiche is that it’s such a satisfying meal and works for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Eating with breakfast? Pair it with some fruit. Lunch or dinner? Add a side salad. It has everything you need (including vegetables) and just tastes so darn good. Great as leftovers too!

Ingredients for Quiche

Here’s what you need to make this mushroom chive quiche recipe, although you can easily switch things out and make it your own:

• Frozen crust (I use store-bought 75% of the time)
• Eggs
• Half & half
• Mushrooms
• Chives
• Goat cheese

This is truly a “clean out the fridge” sort of meal where you can use up any vegetables or herbs that you have on hand. I think the mushroom/chive/goat cheese combination is a beautiful flavor pairing though.

I was able to find a great whole wheat pie crust at the store and it has a nutty flavor and more coarse texture. Love it! I have a feeling this isn’t super easy to find though, so grab whatever is available to you.

Steps to Making a Quiche

1. Cook the mushrooms in a bit of butter until glossy
2. Add mushrooms to the pie crust and dot with goat cheese; top with the chives
3. Whisk eggs and half & half, then pour over the top
4. Bake!

I honestly never knew how easy it was to make one of these at home until recently. And I will say, I like to make a homemade crust when I have time but the ease of being able to pull out a crust from the freezer whenever you feel like it is so wonderful. They typically come in a two-pack, so I try to make sure I always have at least one stocked.

We always have eggs and cream. And surely we have some sort of vegetable and cheese on hand. It’s a no-fail weekend breakfast for my family, and it also works great for a hosted brunch if you add a few other items to the table (see below for my suggestions).

This is a great recipe to save for all of those fun spring events coming up (showers, holidays, graduations). It’s a great main dish to jumpstart your menu!
