    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!

    Game-watching spreads can add up quickly in calories, especially when the chip bowl is within arm’s reach for hours. A simple swap is portioning chips into a small bowl before sitting down rather than eating from the bag — it makes it much easier to enjoy the flavors without mindlessly overeating.
