Italian Quiche

Another favorite quiche or better known "quickie"  As you may have discovered, I always precook my crusts prior to filling them.  It keeps the crust from being soggy.

Italian Quiche

1 (9 inch) pie shell                                            1 cup chopped mushrooms
1/2 cup diced pepperoni                                  3 green onions, chopped
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese                           2 whole eggs
1 cup shredded Mozzarella                              2 egg yolks
1 (4 1/2 ounce) can sliced black olives             1 cup half and half
1/2 bell pepper, chopped                                 1/4 t. salt
1/2 t. dried oregano
Prebake crust in 400 degree oven for 8 minutes.  Set aside. Reduce heat to 375 degrees.  Mix pepperoni, olives, bell pepper, mushrooms and onions and arrange evenly in pie shell.  Mix eggs and yolks, add half and half, salt and oregano and pour evenly over cheese mixture.  Place pie on cookie sheet for easy handling and place in 375 degree oven.  Bake for 35-45 minutes until light brown and toothpick comes out clean.  Cool 10 minutes before serving.
