Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cups button mushrooms, sliced
• 2 cups cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 0.5 pound ground beef
• 0.5 pound ground sausage
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
• 4 eggs
• 1.25 cups heavy cream
• 0.5 cup whole milk
• 1.5 cups grated Gruyère cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 pre-made pie crust, thawed
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, stirring frequently.

Step 5

Add the sliced button and cremini mushrooms to the skillet. Cook for 6-8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and become golden brown.

Step 6

Crumble the ground beef and sausage into the skillet. Cook until fully browned and no longer pink, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess grease.

Step 7

Stir in the salt, black pepper, and dried thyme, mixing well. Remove the skillet from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 8

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, and milk until smooth.

Step 9

Roll out the pre-made pie crust and press it into a 9-inch pie dish. Trim any excess dough and crimp the edges for a decorative finish.

Step 10

Place the meat and mushroom mixture evenly over the bottom of the pie crust.

Step 11

Sprinkle the grated Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses over the meat mixture.

Step 12

Slowly pour the egg and cream mixture over the filling, taking care not to overfill the crust.

Step 13

Place the quiche on the center rack of the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.

Step 14

Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 15

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
