Say hello to your new favorite brunch recipe. This savory quiche has a rich, custardy filling packed with subtly sweet caramelized onion and umami-packed mushrooms, encased in a flaky, buttery crust. Don't stress about making homemade crust—the key is in keeping your ingredients cold, and adding just enough water for the crust to pinch together. The velvety onions and sautéed mushrooms are a natural pairing, especially when mixed with tangy goat cheese crumbles and herbal fresh thyme. Pair with a side salad (and perhaps a mimosa) for a perfect midday meal!

Directions

Mealthy Tip

This quiche has a lot of steps which can easily be broken up over several days. Crust can be made in advance and kept in the freezer for several weeks or in the refrigerator for several days. The crust can be par-baked, the onions caramelized, and the mushrooms cooked the day before baking the quiche. Feel free to adapt the workflow to suit your schedule.
