P-Dub Cowgirl Quiche

Well I can't find the link to this little slice of heaven.

The recipe is in P-dub's new cookbook.

Here's what's in it:

16 oz white mushrooms, sliced

2-3 leeks

2T butter

8 eggs

1 1/2 cups cream (I subbed FAGE)

2 c. grated swiss cheese (I used a little cheddar and parmesan)

s/p

8 thin slices prosciutto (I used ham)

Lay the mushrooms on a cookie sheet and roast at 400 for 15-20 minutes.

Slice leeks and let soak in a big bowl of water for 10 minutes or so.  They are grown in a gritty type soil and this will allow the grit to fall to the bottom of the bowl and the leeks to float.

Melt butter in large skillet and saute leeks 8-10 minutes until starting to brown.

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add the cream/FAGE.

Then add in the mushrooms, leeks and cheese.

Season with salt and pepper.

Pour into a piecrust that you put into a tart pan.

Bake 45 minutes at 400 covered loosely with foil.

Remove foil and bake 10 minutes more.

Let sit 10 minutes before serving.

I used a simple pie crust recipe that was perfect for a quiche.

It was 2 cups flour, 1T sugar, 1 tsp Salt, and 2 sticks butter.

Process it all in your food processor and then push down into your tart pan.

This dough was a bit sticky and had a sweet shortbread taste.

I loved it!
