🥚 Ingredients You'll Need

• 1 deep-dish 9" frozen pie crust (or your preferred crust)
  

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  

• 1 medium onion, diced
  

• 6 ounces sliced mushrooms, cleaned and patted dry
  

• ½ teaspoon dried or fresh thyme
  

• 3 large Eggland’s Best eggs
  

• 2 large Eggland’s Best egg yolks
  

• 1 cup whole milk
  

• 4 ounces sharp white cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
  

• 4 ounces sharp yellow cheddar cheese, freshly shredded
  

• Salt and pepper to taste
  
  

👩🍳 Preparation Steps

1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
   

2. Sauté the Vegetables: In a large frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms, seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir occasionally, cooking until the onions and mushrooms are caramelized and browned, approximately 15 minutes.
   

3. Prepare the Custard: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the Eggland’s Best eggs, egg yolks, and milk until the mixture is pale yellow and smooth.
   

4. Assemble the Quiche: Place half of the shredded cheddar cheese at the bottom of the pie crust. Evenly distribute the caramelized vegetables over the cheese. Pour the egg custard mixture over the top. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the filling.
   

5. Bake: Place the pie crust on a baking tray for stability. Bake in the preheated oven for 35–40 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
   

6. Cool and Serve: Allow the quiche to cool for about an hour to set before slicing.
