Golden Onion Mushroom Quiche Recipe – Easy Quiche Recipes

December 1, 2015 58 Comments

Learn how to make an easy quiche with mushrooms and onions. This is a vegetarian quiche recipe that uses eggs. 

I am really not sure why I have never made quiche before. It’s quite fail-proof and lends itself so well to customisations. While eggless quiche recipes are really popular all over the Internet now, I wanted to try a simple basic quiche recipe for my first attempt at making quiche. I am super happy with the results and while the slice down there is not smooth and picture-perfect, it tasted mighty darn good.

I would highly recommend this golden onion mushroom quiche recipe to beginner bakers. You know why? Its going to make you feel awesome and so much more confident because its practically no-fail.

Golden Onion Mushroom Quiche Recipe
Makes 8 generous wedges and 4 mini quiches

Ingredients

For the pastry:
1 cup + 2tbsp flour (200gm)
100gm unsalted butter, frozen
1/4 tsp baking powder
1 beaten egg
A generous pinch of salt

For the filling:
2 cups chopped mushrooms (I used button mushrooms)
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 cup milk
3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 beaten eggs
Freshly ground pepper
Salt to taste
1 tbsp oil


How to Make Quiche:

For the pastry:

Golden Onion Mushroom Quiche Recipe

Mix flour, salt and baking powder together. Ideally, you should sieve this. Ideally. Grate the frozen butter and mix it well with fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse sand.

Sidenote: I would recommend grating the butter only if you have someone to outsource the washing of the said grater. If not, just cut the butter into cubes and follow this process.

Golden Onion Mushroom Quiche Recipe

Add the egg and bring the dough together. You can add a few drops of ice cold water if needed at this stage, but I didn’t have to. Transfer the dough to a floured surface.

Golden Onion Mushroom Quiche Recipe

Roll it out about 1/2″ thick. Its fine even if its not an even circle or whatever. Just make sure the thickness is more or less even all around.

Golden Onion Mushroom Quiche Recipe

Next step is to gently transfer this to a greased pie dish. Here’s what I used. I bought this pie dish ages ago anticipating this exact moment! Well, not really, but atleast it was put to good use after 7 months of buying it.

Golden Onion Mushroom Quiche Recipe

Gently lift the rolled out dough and lay it over the dish. Press it down lightly at the bottom and along the sides. If there’s a gap somewhere, just take the overhanging dough fromt he sides and patch it up. Go on, nobody needs to know. I did it along the top and left hand side, can you tell? Of course you can, but, it doesn’t matter. That’s the beauty of a quiche.

Refrigerate this crust while you put together the filling.

Pre-heat the oven to 350F / 180C.

To prepare the filling:


Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onions until golden brown. Add the mushrooms and saute until soft and all the water has evaporated from the pan. Top off with ground pepper and salt and mix well. Cool completely.

Break 2 eggs into a bowl and beat lightly. I know there are three in there but I ended up with a lot of extra filling and I really don’t want you to waste good ingredients. So stay with me here, ok? Only 2 eggs needed.

Golden Onion Mushroom Quiche Recipe

Add 1/2 a cup milk to the eggs.

And top off with about 3/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Mix well.

To assemble and bake:

Golden Onion Mushroom Quiche Recipe

Bring out the prepared crust from the fridge.

Lay the onion mushroom mixture evenly on it.

And top off with the milk-egg-cheese mixture until it reaches almost up to the top of the crust.

Golden Onion Mushroom Quiche Recipe

Bake until the top turns golden brown and patchy in parts and the crust turns golden – about 25 to 30 mins.

Cut into wedges and serve warm.

I had some leftover dough and filling so I made 4 of these adorable mini quiches with it in these tart moulds that came with my old oven. These only need to be baked for about 20 mins and are fantastic single-serving portions for parties or potlucks.

      please check here on how to preheat oven. 15 minutes should be sufficient.

    Hi Nags,

    This looks soo yummy. I am totally new to cooking and this would be my first baking experience. In fact, I will also be using the oven for the first time.
    I have a few questions, could you please answer me.

    1. Why do we need to preheat the oven?
    2. I have a oven which has only microwave and grill. It does not have convection mode. How to preheat? I checked your article on preheat but in my oven I don't have any preheat button as such. What can I do?
    3. Can I bake this quiche in microwave mode?
    4. Can I use any cheese if cheddar cheese is not available? Can I use Amul cheese? I don't know what kind of cheese it is.
    5. To prepare the pastry, for 200g flour, 1 egg is required. If I use 100g flour, should I use half a egg or can I use a full egg?
    6. Why do we need to use unsalted butter to prepare dough? Can I use salted butter?

    Thanks 🙂

      1. Check this link that talks about why you should pre-heat an oven http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Why_must_you_always_preheat_an_oven_when_cooking

      2. Looks like you don't own an oven. You can't bake most recipes without one.

      3. No

      4. Yes, Amul will work

      5. Half an egg. Beat an egg in a bowl and use half of it.

      6. Yes. Just reduce salt in the filling.

    I am going to make this quiche – guessing as to whether the pie crust should be regular or deep dish – 8" or 9". How come the vast majority of recipes about pies fail to mention applicable pie crust sizes? Anybody reading this post who does upload recipes to the net – PLEASE PLEASE do not forget this information.

    Thanks from a confused beginning baker.

    This quiche recipe crust is meant to be flaky unlike pizza dough, so not sure how to adapt that. Maybe try with lesser butter?

    Yes i didn't prebake or prick and it came out just fine. You can prebake the crust if you want, its called blind baking. You can also prick the crust 🙂

    Hello Anukampa, thanks for your comment 🙂 For eggless quiche, simply omit the egg in the crust and for the filling, add 1.5 to 2 cups of silken tofu, mashed well with a fork. I haven't tried this myself but I have heard people get good results this way!

    Hi Nags,

    Am a regular at your blog and I love the effort you take to make it all simple for us, the readers. I just had a doubt reg this recipe…is it okay to not bake the crust beforehand..meaning it still cooks well, right? Normally the crust also needs to be pricked right? Since you have not mentioned it I assume its okay to not do it.

    Thanks

    You know, I've been following your site since when it was just a blog and you were in hyd, and we'd even emailed each other once..after that, you moved and I followed you here, but never commented, even though I've tried many recipes of yours and it was all good…I'm commenting now 'cos I just started my own food blog last week (still an amateur!) and I just can't imagine how you manage to take these step-by-step photos while cooking/baking! How, how how?? Hats off to your patience and your skill…do you bake/cook with one hand, like I saw on a Top Chef challenge recently? :-D..anyway, now I can appreciate the effort you put behind this blog all the more…keep going!
    Will be definitely baking these…can I link back to you and add your blog to my blogroll also?
