Salty tarts are one of those recipes that, if we have a little time and the right ingredients, change our routine of always eating the same thing and offer us a wide variety of flavors in each bite. Although they may not seem like it, they are very easy to make and can be prepared with an infinite number of ingredients.

No matter how you want to prepare it, it will become one of your favorite weekend or picnic lunches (not to mention that you can save it to enjoy on weekdays too).

Ingredients to make Mushroom Quiche:
• 1 sheet of puff pastry
• 250 grams of mushrooms
• 1 onion
• 2 eggs
• 150 milliliters of cream to cook
• 50 grams of grated cheese
• 1 pinch of salt
• 1 splash of olive oil
How to make Mushroom Quiche:
Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Put a frying pan over medium heat with a splash of olive oil. Chop the onion into small pieces, add it to the pan and let it cook a little. When the onion begins to take color, add the sliced mushrooms. While the mushrooms are cooking, prepare the base for the Mushroom and Onion Quiche. Take a mold and cover it with the puff pastry, seal it well to the mold and trim the excess edges. Prick all over the dough so it doesn’t puff up too much. In a bowl, add the eggs, beat them and add the liquid cream, the grated cheese and a little salt. Stir and mix well.
When the mushrooms are, distribute them very well on the cake. Pour a layer of the egg mixture all over the cake. Put the quiche in the oven for 20 or 30 minutes until you see it golden. When it’s ready, take it out, let it rest for about 5 minutes and your mushroom quiche is ready to serve. It’s delicious!
