    Ingredients

    • 1 cup sliced mushrooms

    • 0.5 cup grated Gruyere cheese

    • 3 eggs

    • 1 cup half and half

    • 0.5 teaspoon salt

    • 0.25 teaspoon pepper

    • 1 tablespoon butter

    • 1 pre-made pie crust

    Directions

    • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the quiche to perfection.
    • Place the pie crust in a pie pan, and press gently to fit, trimming excess dough from the edges.
    • In a pan, melt the butter over medium heat, then add the sliced mushrooms, cooking until they become tender and brown.
    • Beat the eggs in a mixing bowl, then mix them with the half and half, salt, and pepper until well combined.
    • Add the cooked mushrooms and grated Gruyere cheese into the egg mixture, stirring gently to distribute evenly.
    • Pour the entire mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading the mushrooms and cheese evenly.
    • Place the pie pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 minutes or until the quiche sets and the top turns golden.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!

    Chili’s Just Declared War on Fast Food Chicken Sandwiches — With Six Variations and a $10.99 Meal

    The Spicy Big Crispy is one of the more balanced options in the lineup — the spicy mayo adds bold flavor without the additional fat and sodium of the Club’s bacon and cheese. If you’re ordering the 3 For Me meal, the bottomless chips and salsa are easy to mindlessly overeat before the main course arrives — asking for the chips after your sandwich comes out rather than at the start is a simple way to enjoy the perk without using it as a pre-meal appetizer. And choosing water or unsweetened iced tea over a fountain drink saves meaningful added sugar while still getting the value of the unlimited beverage included in the meal.

    Five Ways to Use Cottage Cheese That Are Actually Worth the Hype

    Cottage cheese earns its viral moment nutritionally — a single cup delivers around 25 grams of protein, which rivals chicken breast ounce for ounce. It’s also high in casein protein, which digests slowly and keeps you full significantly longer than whey-based sources. Look for full-fat or 2% versions rather than fat-free — the fat helps with satiety and carries the flavor in a way the fat-free version simply doesn’t. If sodium is a concern, give it a quick rinse in a fine mesh strainer, which removes a meaningful amount without affecting texture.
