Ingredients:
For the Pressed-In Crust:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons butter
For the Filling:
- 1/2 cup Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 brown button mushrooms, whole
- 1 white mushroom, sliced
- 1 1/2 cups Swiss cheese, shredded
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 eggs
Instructions:
For the Pressed-In Crust:
-
Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
-
-
Prepare the crust: In a large bowl, measure the flour. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles moist crumbs.
-
Press the crust: Press the crust mixture into a 9-inch glass or porcelain quiche pan or pie pan.
-
Bake: Bake the crust for 10 minutes or until lightly browned.
For the Filling:
-
Prepare the mushrooms: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a heavy skillet. Add the minced garlic and cook over low heat for 2 minutes. Add 8 mushroom caps to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes until glazed. Remove them and set aside.
-
Cook the remaining mushrooms: Slice the remaining mushrooms with the stems and add them to the skillet. Cook and stir until the mushrooms are browned and any released liquid has evaporated.
-
Assemble the pie: Sprinkle half of the shredded Swiss cheese over the baked crust. Top with the cooked mushrooms, then add the remaining shredded cheese.
-
Prepare the custard: In a separate bowl, mix the salt, sour cream, milk, and eggs. Pour this custard mixture evenly over the ingredients in the pan.
-
Bake: Bake the pie for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted just off center comes out clean.
-
Final touch: About 5 minutes before removing the pie from the oven, place the reserved mushroom caps on top of the pie, spacing them evenly around the edge.
