Brocolli, Mushroom and Cheese Quiche

Made these beauties today for my high school friends who came to visit for Hari Raya. Sometimes I make these quiche with four different cheeses, but today I am using only mozarella and cheddar as they are the only ones available in the refrigerator. It turned out just as wonderful!

The pastry

Ready made pie pastry -

rolled and cut into circles and line muffin moulds. Brush with some egg white.Put aside.

The filling

1 onion (medium sized only)- diced finely

some fatty beef - diced finely and slightly seasoned with salt

4 button mushrooms sliced an quartered 

In a frying pan fry the beef bits and add the onion. Stir till onions caramelize.Add the mushrooms and stir for another 5 minutes. Set aside

4 oz grated mozarelle  cheese

4 oz grated cheddar cheese

1/4 cup  brocolli floweretts - steam and cut into tiny flowerettes

 The egg mixture

4 eggs

1 cup evaporated milk  (for a more creamy quiche substitute 1/4 cup with whipping cream

pepper and fresh chopped parsley

In a bowl, beat the eggs , add in the milk, grated cheeses, brocolli and the beef /onion/mushroom mix. Seasoned with pepper and add in the chopped parsley.

Fill the pastry lined moulds with the egg mixture and bake in a 170 degrees Celcius pre-heated oven for 20-30 minutes. When a knife or skewer inserted comes out clean, the quiche is ready.
