• Preheat the oven to 200C/392F degrees Roll out the pastry on a floured surface. It should be round in shape and wide enough to cover a 9inch/23cm pie dish. It should also be about 0.5cm/2inches thick.Place the pastry into the pie dish, make sure to push it into the corners and leave some hanging over the edge. Trim off the remaining pastry but leave a small overhang. Keep any remaining pastry for fixing cracks. Using your index finger and thumb pinch the pastry along the edge. Using a fork prick the base of the pastry a few times.Pop the pastry into the fridge for 10 minutes.Remove the pastry from the fridge. Crunch up some parchment paper then place that over the pastry. Place ceramic baking beans over the paper then place the pastry in the top third of the oven and bake for 15 minutes.After 15 minutes take it out of the oven, remove the paper and beans. Check for any cracks then pop it back into the oven and bake again for 5 minutes. Remove from the oven a leave to cool a little.
• Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan and cook up the shallots until they are soft about 10 minutes. Once they are cooked remove them from the pan and wipe it clean. Leave the shallots in a bowl until you are ready to use them.

MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:

• Start by cutting chilled, cubed pieces of butter into the flour using just your fingertips (this prevents the heat from the rest of the hand from melting the butter).You can also use a pastry cutter or two knives.
• When you have a coarse bread-crumb-like texture add ice-cold water one tablespoon at a time and bring the dough together.
• You don't have to knead it. Using only the heel of your hand push the dough away from you. Then bring it back with your fingertips till smooth.
• If the dough feels dry whisk in more chilled water.
• Shape the dough into a ball, flatten it slightly, cover in cling wrap and then refrigerate until it is firm and easy to handle. I refrigerated for about 15 minutes.
• Preheat your oven to 180C. Keep a 9" pie dish handy.
• On a very lightly floured surface (you don't want excess dry flour), roll out the dough to an approximately 12" circle.
• Pick it up gently and place it in your pie dish. Push the dough inwards along the edges and the base with a very firm hand. You can also wrap the dough around your rolling pin and then transfer it to your pie dish.
• After you've made sure the dough fits the pan well, trim the dough that's hanging over with a sharp knife and chill for another 20 minutes.
• Prick the bottom of the chilled pie shell with a fork.
• Line the shell with parchment paper and weigh it down with baking beans, dry red kidney beans, or chickpeas.
• Bake the crust for 20 minutes in a preheated oven at 180C.
• Remove the parchment paper and the beans and return the pie to the oven for another 10 minutes.
• While the crust is baking, prepare the filling.
• Thinly slice the onions and cook them in 1 tbsp olive oil or butter on low heat along with a sprig of fresh thyme and cumin powder.
• When the onions are softened, about halfway through, add the balsamic vinegar. If you don't have the vinegar, use brown sugar.
• Stir occasionally, and sauté the onions till they are soft and brown. Add salt to taste right at the end. Transfer to a bowl and keep aside.
• Add a tbsp of olive oil and sauté the mushrooms in the same pan, until they are softened and cooked.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, fresh / dried thyme, salt, and pepper.You can use any seasoning you prefer.
• Spread the caramelized onions on the pie crust.
• Top this with the sauteed mushrooms ( save 5-6 for the top)and some green onion.
• Sprinkle the grated cheese and pour over the egg cream mixture. Top with more grated cheese and the remaining mushrooms.
• Bake this at 180C for 40-45 minutes until the center is set and the quiche, golden.
• Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

MUSHROOM QUICHE

Steps:

• Roll out the dough: Roll out dough on a clean, lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Line a 10 by 1 1/2-inch tart pan with the rolled out dough. Trim the edges. Chill in freezer for 30 minutes. (You need to pre-freeze the raw crust or it will slip down the sides of the pan when it cooks.)
• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Pre-bake crust: Line the crust with aluminum foil or parchment paper, pushing into the bottom edge. Trim excess lining, but don't cut the foil or parchment paper too close to the crust, allow for enough room to easily lift it out. Fill it at least two-thirds with baking weights-dried beans (I keep a bag of pinto beans just to use for pie weights), rice, or aluminum pie weights. Bake initially for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and let cool a few minutes. Carefully remove parchment paper and weights. Poke the bottom of the pie crust with the tines of a fork and return to oven and bake an additional 10 minutes or until lightly golden. (Fork holes are for any air to escape.) Let cool on a rack while you make the filling.
• Sauté the shallots and mushrooms: Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Sauté the shallots for a minute, then add the mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the mushrooms release all of their moisture, and get well browned, about 10 minutes.
• Make the filling: Whisk together the cream, milk, and eggs in a medium bowl. Stir in nutmeg, salt and pepper.
• Assemble the quiche: Place the tart pan on a rimmed baking sheet to catch any run-off or leaks. Sprinkle half of the grated Gruyere over the bottom of the crust. Spread the mushrooms and shallots over the cheese in an even layer, and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the mushrooms and cheese in the crust.
• Bake: Put the baking sheet with the tart pan in the oven and bake at 350°F until the center is just set, still a little wiggly, about 30 to 35 minutes. Remove to a rack and let cool for 20 minutes before slicing.
