Creamy quiche filled with kale, mushrooms, sun-dried tomatoes, and artichoke. This autumn harvest quiche is filled with fall ingredients and is so amazingly delicious.
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3-4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 ½ cup kale, torn into bite size pieces
  • 1 pie crust
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomato, drained and chopped
  • ½ cup artichoke hearts in water, drained
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup 2% milk
  • ¾ cup half and half (or whole milk)
  • ½ - ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded fontina cheese (or your favorite cheese
Directions:
  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. In a medium skillet, add a little bit of olive oil over low to medium heat. Once the olive oil has heated, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Cook the garlic until they become golden brown.
  3. Next, add the mushrooms and cook them until they have softened. Add the kale and cook them until they've become tender.
  4. Allow the mushrooms and kale to cool down for several minutes.
  5. While the mushrooms and kale are cooling, place the pie crust on a baking sheet. Use a fork to poke holes into the bottom of the crust so that the crust doesn't puff up. Place the pie crust on the baking sheet into the oven and pre-bake the crust for about 10 minutes.
  6. Remove the pie crust from the oven and set aside for now.
  7. Once the kale and mushrooms have cooled, carefully drain as much liquid as you can. Once the liquid is drained, add the chopped artichoke hearts and sun-dried tomatoes into the skillet. Toss until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
  8. Now, place the garlic, mushroom, artichoke, kale, and sun-dried tomatoes into a single layer on the pie crust.
  9. In a large bowl, crack 4 large eggs. Beat them with a whisk, then add half and half, milk, and salt. Whisk until they are well combined.
  10. Pour the beaten eggs over the kale, mushroom, artichoke, and sun-dried tomatoes. Sprinkle cheese on top.
  11. Place the quiche into the oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes until the center appears set.
  12. Serve the quiche warm.
  13. Enjoy!
