Sage Balsamic Mushroom and Feta Quiche (Vegetarian)

After spending a day on the road, returning from our holiday, this rich and flavourful Sage Balsamic Vinegar Quiche, fragrant with herbs, makes a more-ish and deliciously comforting dinner to tuck into! Happy Sunday!

Ingredients (serves 4 to 6):

375 grams/13 ounces chilled Rosemary Pastry

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/2 tablespoon olive oil

1 Green Onion

200 grams/7 ounces cremini and button mushrooms

a dozen leaves fresh sage

1 1/2 tablespoon Modena Balsamic Vingar

a pinch of salt and freshly cracked black pepper

4 large eggs

1 1/2 cup crème fraîche or sour cream

¼ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper

4 small leaves fresh sage

100 grams/3.5 ounces Feta Cheese

Preheat oven to 200°C/395°F.

Roll Rosemary Pastry out thinly onto a lightly floured surface. Fit into a buttered 20cm/8″ tart tin, letting the pastry overhang on the edges. Prick the base with a fork. Place a sheet of baking paper onto the Rosemary Pastry and fill with dried beans or rice. Blind bake the Rosemary Pastry crust  at 200°C/395°F, 10 minutes. Carefully remove the beans and baking paper, and bake another 5 minutes, at the same temperature. Remove from the oven. Let cool slightly before trimming the edges. Set aside.

Whilst the Pastry is blind-baking, melt butter with olive oil in a large, nonstick skillet, over medium-high heat. 

Thinly slice Green Onion. Once the butter is just foaming, add white part of the Green Onion, and cook, a couple of minutes.

Slice cremini and button mushrooms into thick slices. Add mushrooms to the skillet, and sauté, coating in butter and oil, about 3 minutes.

Finely chop sage leaves, and stir them in as well. Cook, a minute more or so, until mushrooms are well-browned. 

Then, deglaze with Balsamic Vinegar. Cook, 1 minute. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.

In a medium bowl, whisk eggs together with crème fraîche. Whisk in salt and black pepper. Finely chop sage leaves, and whisk them into the batter, along with chopped green part of the Green Onion. Set aside.

Scatter Balsamic mushrooms onto the tart crust. Crumble Feta liberally on top. Pour egg and cream mixture evenly all over.

Place in the warm oven, and bake, at 200°C/395°F, 25 to 30 minutes, until cooked through and crust is beautifully golden brown.

Serve Sage Balsamic Vinegar Quiche warm, with dressed lettuce.
