Ingredients
- 1 store-bought or homemade pie crust
- 6 to 8 strips bacon, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 to 3 large leeks, washed and sliced
- 1/2 pound baby bella mushrooms, washed, stems removed and sliced
- 8 large eggs
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Sea Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon Frontier Co-op® Black Pepper
- 2 ounces sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions
- Heat oven to 375 degrees.
- Roll out the crust and crimp into a 9-inch pie pan. Place in oven and pre-bake for 10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté bacon until done and crisp. Transfer to a bowl, drain off most of the bacon grease and return pan to stovetop. Add olive oil followed by leeks. Sauté leeks for 5 to 6 minutes, until soft and browning. Add mushrooms and sauté for 3 to 4 mushrooms, until tender. Add bacon back to pan, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Bake quiche for 45 to 55 minutes, until top is lightly brown and quiche does not jiggle when shaken. Remove, let cool for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Prepare quiche by sprinkling mushroom mixture into crust, then pour egg mixture over top. Sprinkle evenly with cheese.
