Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup cold cubed salted butter
- 1 1/4 cups cold all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon ice-cold water
- 3 eggs
- 3/4 cup (160 grams) cream
- 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup mixed bell peppers (green, yellow, red), cubed
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 cup onions, finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cold cubed butter and flour.
- Using a pastry cutter or your fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice-cold water and mix until the dough comes together.
- Press the dough into a 9-inch tart or pie pan evenly and chill for 10 minutes.
- While the crust chills, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Sauté the chopped onions until translucent, then add the sliced mushrooms and cubed bell peppers.
- Cook the vegetables for 3–4 minutes until slightly softened, then remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and cream.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and the sautéed vegetables, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the filling into the prepared pie crust.
- Bake the quiche for 35–40 minutes, or until set and the top is lightly golden.
- Allow to cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Notes
Ensure your butter is very cold for a flaky crust, and avoid overcooking the vegetables.
