I got this recipe from a friend, and I’ve passed it on to countless other people since then. Everyone who tries it sends me rave reviews!

YIELDS 2 QUICHES OR 1 DEEP DISH QUICHE

• 2 pie crusts or 1 deep dish pie crust 
• 3 onions, diced 
• butter or oil, for sautéing 
• 1 16-oz (450-g) can mushrooms, or 2 red peppers, sliced, and 1 zucchini, unpeeled and sliced into rings 
• 1½ Tbsp flour 
• 2 eggs 
• ⅔ cup heavy cream 
• ⅔ cup shredded cheese 
• 1 tsp salt 
• ¼ tsp pepper 
• additional ⅓ cup shredded cheese, for sprinkling

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). 

Sauté onions in butter or oil until soft. Add mushrooms or vegetables and sauté another 3–4 minutes. Turn off heat and stir in flour to coat vegetable mixture.

In a separate bowl, mix remaining ingredients except for the final ⅓ cup cheese. Mix vegetables into this mixture and then pour into the pie crust(s). Sprinkle remaining shredded cheese on top. Bake for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
