Quiche with chicken and mushrooms

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Sift the flour to enrich it with oxygen. Butter should be cooled, so do not take it out of the refrigerator ahead of time. Cut it into small cubes, put it in a bowl with flour. Chop the mixture with a knife or rub it with your hands into fine crumbs. You can grate cold butter on a coarse grater, dipping it in flour all the time. Add the egg and knead the dough. Do not knead for a long time, otherwise the dough will turn out stiff.

2. Step 2:

   

   The consistency of the dough turns out smooth, elastic, soft. Put it in a heat-resistant mold (diameter 24 cm). Spread your hands over the shape, forming the sides. Pierce the entire surface of the dough with a fork so that it does not swell when baking. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees in advance (10-15 minutes before cooking). Bake the cake for about 10 minutes until golden. Take out the mold and cool it.

3. Step 3:

   

   Wash and dry the chicken fillet with paper towels. Cut it into small pieces. Wash the champignons. Spread them out on a towel that will absorb excess moisture. Clean the large mushrooms (it is enough to wash the small ones). Cut them into small cubes.

4. Step 4:

   

   Heat refined vegetable oil in a frying pan with a high smoking temperature. Fry the chicken with constant stirring until golden brown. Send the mushrooms to the chicken, pour in a little (2-3 tablespoons) of boiled water and salt. Simmer on low heat until tender, until the liquid evaporates. Turn off the heat and let the filling cool down.

6. Step 5:

   

   Prepare the fill. Put the sour cream in a separate container. Add a pinch of salt and eggs. Lightly whisk the mixture until smooth with a whisk. Grate the hard delicious cheese (of the "Russian" type) on a coarse grater.

7. Step 6:

   

   Put the mushroom and chicken filling in the oven-dried shortbread base. Level the surface.

8. Step 7:

   

   Pour the sour cream filling evenly on top of the pie. Sprinkle with grated cheese. Send the pie form back to the oven, preheated to 200 degrees. Bake for about 30-40 minutes. Focus on the features of your oven! The baking time and temperature can be changed. When the cheese melts and the dough is browned, you can get a baking dish.

9. Step 8:

   

   Let the finished quiche with chicken and mushrooms cool down a little in the mold. Then carefully transfer to a flat dish. Decorate the top with curly parsley leaves or sprinkle with finely chopped green onion feathers. Cut and serve.
