For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

This is tasty recipe for mushroom lovers. Of course other vegetables can be substituted if mushrooms aren't your thing. The individual servings promote visual appeal while adding to the tasty component of this dish. As with most of my recipes, directions (and ingredients) are provided to make this from scratch. However, if you choose not to make the crust, instruction are provided as well.

Difficulty (Scale from 1-10): 7

Makes: 6 servings

Ingredients for quiche

4 tablespoons of olive oil
3 cloves of fresh garlic - minced
8 (weight ounces) or 2 1/2 cups of baby Portobello mushroom caps (approximately 2 inches in diameter) - stems removed
1/4 teaspoon of dried crushed red pepper
1 cup of shredded extra sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese
4 extra large eggs
1 1/2 cups of heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons of salt
1 refrigerated premade pie crust (15-ounce package) or see instructions below to make your own simple pie crust from scratch.
Muffin tin (12 muffin capacity)

Ingredients for Simple Flaky Crust

1 cup of margarine or vegetable shortening
3 cups of flour
1/3 - 1/2 cup of ice water
3/4 teaspoon of salt

Preparation of Simple Flaky Pie Crust

In a large bowl add flour and margarine. Using a fork, press flour and margarine together until uniform.

The margarine-flour mixtures should resemble wet oats. Add 1/4 cup of ice water and form flour into a ball.

Be sure not to over-work the dough or it will loose it's flaky properties. you may add more ice water (a tablespoon at a time) if you can not form dough into a ball.

Leave ball of dough in bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

After 30 minutes, roll dough out for crust. Crust should be 1/8 of an inch thick.

Preparation of Quiche

Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.

Roll out crust, cut to fit each muffin tin. Make sure crust covers sides of tin.

Press tin foil onto each crust to hold shape.

Bake for 10 minutes, remove from oven, and reduce oven temp to 400 degrees.

Remove foil, you should now see nicely formed crust in the tin.

On your stove-top over medium heat in a large skillet, combine olive oil, garlic, mushrooms, and crushed red pepper.

Cook till mushrooms become tender (approximately 10 minutes). Remove from heat and drain mushrooms.

Place one mushroom cap (stem side up) into each into each of the newly formed crusts.

Mix grated mozzarella and grated cheddar cheese together. Then evenly sprinkle into each crust shell.

Whisk eggs, heavy cream, black pepper, and salt together in a medium sized bowl.

Evenly pour mixture into crust shells.

Bake at 400 degrees for 15-17 minutes. The quiche will be done if you poke them with a knife and the knife comes out clean.

Enjoy your meal!
