instructions

Cook Along

1 Prepare the ingredients & marinate the pear

Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 425°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Halve, peel, and medium dice the onion. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Grate the cheese on the large side of a box grater. Quarter, core, and thinly slice the pear. In a large bowl, whisk together the honey (kneading the packet before opening), half the vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Add the sliced pear; stir to coat. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes.

2 Cook the vegetables

In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the mushroom pieces in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned. Add the diced onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Add the chopped garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the remaining vinegar (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring constantly, 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until the liquid has cooked off. Turn off the heat.

3 Assemble & bake the quiche

Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of water; season with salt and pepper. Beat until smooth. Add the cooked vegetables and half the grated cheese; season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Place the pie crust on a sheet pan, leaving it in its tin. Add the filling. Top with the remaining grated cheese. Bake 24 to 26 minutes, or until the crust is lightly browned and the filling is set and cooked through. Remove from the oven and let stand at least 2 minutes before serving.

4 Make the salad & serve your dish

Just before serving, add the arugula to the bowl of marinated pear. Gently toss to coat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired. Serve the baked quiche with the salad on the side. Garnish the salad with the almonds. Enjoy!
