As for me, I am sharing an awesome recipe for Breakfast Quiche with you today. I found it on Love and Duck Fat originally and made just a few small adjustments to the recipe.

I have to say, this breakfast quiche has been my savior last week. With husband and kids being away, my lazy gene was acting up in the mornings. I was so glad I made this quiche last Sunday! Breakfasts made easy – cut, reheat, eat. One, two, three. Easy! So, here you are, guys, and don’t forget to go and thank Love and Duck Fat for the original recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 9” frozen pie crust, pre-baked according to directions.
  • 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 8 oz. baby bella mushrooms, cleaned and sliced
  • 3 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 ½ cups light cream
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (4-6 oz.) shredded cheese
  • Handful of fresh baby spinach, arugula or parsley leaves
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F

2. To make the onions: add 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Add the onions and toss until soft, about 5 minutes. Lower the heat and allow to cook  until reduced in size and golden. After about 10 minutes, sprinkle with salt. Allow to cook on low heat for 20 minutes, until very soft and brown. Set aside.
3. To make the mushrooms: melt 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to a skillet on medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and season with salt. Continue to cook on medium-high, turning only a few times until the mushrooms get brown and crispy on the edges. Remove from the pan. Set aside.
4. To make the custard: whisk together the eggs, cream, and 1 teaspoon of salt until frothy.
5. Assemble the quiche: spread ½ of the cheese on the bottom of the pie crust, then mushrooms, and then the onions. Scatter some spinach leaves on top (or parsley/arugula), then the remaining cheese. Pour the egg mixture gently over the top.

6. Bake for 40 minutes, until the top is golden and the center no longer jiggles.

7. Cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.

8. Enjoy!
