Mushroom and Broccoli Quiche

Preparation

A recipe from Leah Molodaya's video «Rules for Organizing a Party». This recipe for a pie—  mushroom and broccoli quiche—is suitable for the Shavuot table and many other occasions.

I used store-bought pastry for the crust, but it is easy to make yourself:

Mix 2 cups of flour and 100 g of butter in a mixer until small, evenly sized balls form. Add the egg and 4 tablespoons of water, and continue mixing until a ball forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for half an hour. Roll out the chilled pastry and place it in a pie pan (26 cm in diameter).  Cover with foil and fill with any kind of dried legumes to weigh it down. Bake for 20 minutes at 180 °C.

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Sauté the finely chopped onion and coarsely chopped button mushrooms. When the liquid has evaporated, turn off the heat and let them cool.

Thaw a cup of small broccoli florets, or boil them if they are fresh.

Mix the onion, mushrooms, broccoli, and sweet cream with 30% fat. You can add 2-3 tablespoons of sour cream and half a cup of grated cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Pour into the baked crust and put the quiche in the oven for another 30 minutes.
