Quiche with chicken and mushrooms

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake quiche with chicken and mushrooms? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Sift the flour. The butter must be chilled. Turn on the oven to 200 degrees in advance. Cut the butter into small cubes and place in a bowl with flour. Chop the mixture with a knife or grind it into fine crumbs with your hands. You can grate cold butter on a coarse grater, constantly dipping it into the flour. Add the egg and knead the dough. Do not knead for too long, otherwise the dough will turn out tough.

2. STEP 2

   

   The dough turns out smooth, elastic, soft. Place it in a heat-resistant form (diameter 24 cm) and spread it over the form with your hands, forming sides. Prick the entire surface of the dough with a fork to prevent it from puffing up during baking. Bake the crust in an oven preheated to 200 degrees for about 10 minutes until golden. Remove the mold and cool.

3. STEP 3

   

   Prepare the necessary ingredients for the filling. Wash and dry the chicken with paper towels. Cut it into small pieces. Wash the champignons. Place them on a towel to absorb excess moisture. Peel large mushrooms (wash small ones enough). Cut them into small cubes. If desired, you can add finely chopped onions to the filling.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat refined vegetable oil with a high smoking point in a frying pan. Fry the chicken with constant stirring until golden brown. Add mushrooms to the chicken, add 2-3 tablespoons of boiled water and salt. Simmer over low heat until the liquid has evaporated. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool.

5. STEP 5

   

   Prepare the necessary ingredients for filling. Place sour cream in a separate container. Sour cream can be replaced with cream of any fat content. Add a pinch of salt and eggs. Lightly whisk the mixture until smooth. Grate hard cheese (such as “Russian”) on a coarse grater.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the mushroom and chicken filling into the oven-dried shortcrust pastry base. Level the surface. If desired, you can also place cherry tomato halves cut side down.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour sour cream filling evenly over the top of the pie. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Send the pan with the pie back to the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. Bake for approximately 30-40 minutes. Focus on the features of your oven! Baking time and temperature can be changed. When the cheese has melted and the dough has browned, you can take out the baking dish.

8. STEP 8

   

   Let the finished quiche with chicken, mushrooms and cheese cool slightly in the pan. Then carefully transfer to a flat dish. Top with curly parsley leaves or sprinkle with finely chopped green onions. Bon appetit!

The main thing in this pie is the filling, and it is very tasty here! For those interested, another version of a similar pie with chicken and broccoli. Tasty!

Quiche with chicken and mushrooms - a very tasty pie! But it is so satisfying that during the cooking process the thought came to my mind several times that at least 4 dishes could be prepared from such a quantity of ingredients))) Wonderful dough (in my case the base could have been baked in the oven longer), very tasty, juicy and filling filling. Everyone at home was delighted with this pie! But next time I would reduce the amount of meat to suit my taste. Thanks for the recipe!

Hearty, delicious pie. Real man's food! Yesterday my nephews, two tall guys, came and ate it at once, despite the abundance of other dishes on the table, there weren’t even crumbs left😤😋. It’s a pleasure to knead this kind of dough, it really turned out soft, smooth, elastic🤗. To the filling, along with the chicken and mushrooms, I added shallots and a small handful of spinach. Thank you for the delicious recipe!💐
