Classic Chicken & Mushroom Quiche
My classic chicken and mushroom quiche features a crisp, organic whole wheat crust filled with a savory, herb-infused custard. It is the wholesome, hearty center your next gathering needs.
Watch how I make my chicken and mushroom quiche from start to finish. I begin by preparing the whole wheat pastry, then whisk the eggs and seasoning for the custard, and finally bake it until golden. It’s a simple, honest process that results in a truly scrumptious bake.
About Classic Chicken & Mushroom Quiche
The secret is in the crust. I use 100% organic whole wheat flour—no maida at all—and hand-press it for a rustic, flaky finish that actually holds its shape. The filling is a slow-cooked mix of tender chicken breast chunks and fresh button mushrooms, bound by a rich, seasoned egg-and-cream custard that keeps every bite moist and flavourful.
Why I chose the 'Naked' crust
I don't believe in using maida. It's just not how I cook at home. By using organic whole wheat, the crust takes on a lovely, nutty flavour that pairs perfectly with savoury fillings. I blind-bake it first, which is a bit of extra work, but it ensures you get a crisp bottom and sides every single time, so it never turns soggy.
What goes inside
For this specific quiche, I focus on quality proteins and fresh herbs. The chicken breast is seasoned with black pepper and fresh thyme and rosemary, then sautéed with button mushrooms until they’re golden and earthy. I use a classic egg-cream-milk custard to bind it all together, which gives it that melt-in-the-mouth texture without using any processed thickeners.
Serving suggestions
Each 9-inch quiche yields about 6 to 8 substantial slices. It arrives in a sturdy box, ready to serve warm or at room temperature. It works beautifully as a centrepiece for a weekend brunch, a quick healthy snack for teens, or a comforting addition to a dinner party. If you are planning an event, please remember I bake everything from scratch in my home kitchen, so I need a little bit of lead time to prepare everything perfectly.
