1. Prepare the Pastry Crust

2. Roll and Pre-Bake the Crust

3. Prepare the Filling
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, garlic, and fresh thyme until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the pre-baked crust.
- Evenly distribute the shredded chicken and chopped mushrooms over the filling.
4. Bake the Quiche
- Return the quiche to the oven and bake at 325°F for 45 minutes, or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
5. Cool and Serve
- Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful blend of flavors.
