Quiche Aux Chanterelles

12 ingredients
10 steps

Ingredients

  • 250 g puff pastry
  • 750 g mushrooms (chanterelles or other mushrooms such as porcini, button, ...)
  • 1 red onion (medium sized, minced)
  • 2 -3 garlic cloves (to taste)
  • 70 ml white wine
  • 2 eggs (whole)
  • 250 g creme fraiche (or cream cheese, ricotta or 250ml sweet cream)
  • 50 g parmesan cheese
  • 100 g shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • salt and pepper

Directions

  1. 1
    Clean mushrooms (best not using water) and cut in bite size chunks.
  2. 2
    Butter a 26cm dia. baking dish and place/fit puff pastry into it. Use cuts to form a 2 inch high rim. Perforate pastry using a fork and place in oven at 200°C for about 10 minute (I usually form a circle out of aluminium foil roughly fitting the baking dish's diameter and place it in the dish to prevent the pastry's sides from deforming and baking down).
  3. 3
    While the pastry is in the oven, melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a non stick pan and add minced onion and garlic (until translucent), add chanterelles and let roast (be careful not to burn the onion and garlic).
  4. 4
    Add white wine, stir.
  5. 5
    Salt and pepper to taste (you might want to season with a bit of vegetarian soup granulate, but do not overdo it) and stir in parsley.
  6. 6
    Let mushrooms cook until tender and the liquid has evaporated. Set aside and let cool.
  7. 7
    Mix creme fraiche, 2 eggs, parmesan and half of the mozzarella, salt and pepper until thick and creamy.
  8. 8
    Fill mushroom mix into baking dish, cover with egg-creme fraiche mixture and sprinkle with the remaining mozzarella.
  9. 9
    Bake at 175°C-200° for about 30min. until golden brown and egg mixture has set.
  10. 10
    Serve luke warm and enjoy!
