Ingredients

Crust

  • 1 and 1/4 cups Glicks Flour

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1 stick butter, diced

  • 1/2 cup sour cream

Filling

  • 1 8-ounce box fresh mushrooms, sliced

  • 2 tablespoons Gefen Olive Oil

  • 3 eggs

  • 3/4 cup milk

  • 3 ounces shredded mozzarella cheese

Easy Pesto

Directions

Prepare the Crust

1.

Whisk flour and salt in a large bowl. With a pastry blender or two forks, cut in butter until it resembles coarse crumbs. Add sour cream; knead gently just until dough comes together. It will appear shaggy.

2.

Divide dough into six equal pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll out one piece to a six-inch square. Transfer to a four-inch tartlet pan. Fold in any overhanging dough and press edges to the pan, coming up the sides. Prick dough with a fork to help prevent puffing. Repeat with remaining dough. Place in the refrigerator and chill crust 30 minutes to an hour.

3.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

4.

Line crusts with a small piece of Gefen Parchment Paper and fill with pie-weights or beans.

5.

Bake for seven to eight minutes. Remove from oven and remove pie weights and paper. Lower oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.

Prepare the Easy Pesto

1.

Place all ingredients in a bowl and mix to combine.

Notes:

Use this any time you have a recipe calling for pesto.

Prepare the Filling

1.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sauté until browned and liquid has evaporated. Divide mushrooms between all the crusts.

2.

Combine, eggs, milk, pesto, and cheese in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

3.

Pour egg mixture over mushrooms, 1/4 cup per quiche. Bake about 20 minutes or until set. Remove from oven and serve.
