How to make a chicken and mushroom quiche
We put in the pan a little extra virgin olive oil and poach the leek that we have cleaned by cutting the ends and the outer leaves. When the leek begins to brown, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for a few minutes and add the chicken cut into very small pieces and seasoned. When the chicken is cooked, remove from the heat and reserve.
We extend the shortcrust pastry and put it on a quiche mold or the molds that we have selected. Bake, preheated oven, at 180º C about 8 or 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, beat the eggs, cream and cheese that are grated. Add the chicken and mix. We remove the shortcrust from the oven, pour the mixture and bake for 20 or 25 minutes at 180º C. And we already have our exquisite Chicken and Mushroom Quiche ready.
