SPRING FOREST GREENS AND MUSHROOM QUICHE

Makes one 9-inch pie

½ recipe Simple Pie Crust

2 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil

1 onion, chopped

20 wild or cultivated mushrooms, thinly sliced (see Note)

10 devil’s club spring bud tips (the buds should be tightly closed)

½ cup chopped nettles

½ cup fireweed shoots

½ cup watermelon berry shoots

½ cup chopped kale leaves

Salt and black pepper

1½ cups goat’s milk

4 large eggs

1 tablespoon fresh thyme

2 teaspoons fresh rosemary

1½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese or chèvre (soft goat cheese)

Pinch of paprika

Preheat the oven to 375°F.

Roll out the dough and place it in a 9-inch pie pan. With the tines of a fork, prick the bottom of the crust to avoid bubbling (this is called docking the dough). Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are a very light golden brown.

Meanwhile, in a large cast-iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion, mushrooms, devil’s club, nettles, fireweed, watermelon berry shoots, and kale and sauté until they are tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

In a medium bowl, beat together the milk and eggs until well combined, then mix in the thyme and rosemary. Sprinkle the cheese over the prepared crust, then add the sautéed vegetables and spread them into an even layer. Pour the beaten egg mixture over the vegetables and sprinkle with a touch of paprika.

Bake for 40 minutes, or until the center of the quiche is set. Check for doneness by inserting a wooden skewer or knife into the middle of your quiche. It should come out clean. Serve warm or at room temperature.
