Instructions
In a food processor, pulse the flour with the butter and salt until the mixture resembles coarse meal.
Add the water and pulse a few times until a crumbly dough forms. Turn the dough out onto a work surface and knead 3 times, until it just comes together. Pat into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
On a lightly floured work surface, roll the dough out to a 12-inch round. Fit the round into a 10 1/2-inch tart pan with a removable bottom.
Roll the rolling pin across the top of the pan to remove the excess dough. Line the dough with foil and fill it with rice or pie weights.
Bake the tart shell for about 1 hour, or until golden around the edge.
Remove the foil and rice and bake the shell for about 18 minutes longer, or until golden on the bottom.
Transfer the tart shell to a wire rack and let it cool completely. Increase the oven temperature to 37
In a large skillet, melt the butter.
Add the mushrooms, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until tender and browned, about 8 minutes.
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the cream, milk, 3/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Scatter the mushrooms, ham and cheese in the tart shell and pour the custard on top.
Bake the quiche for about 30 minutes, or until it is lightly browned on top and the custard is just set.
Transfer to a rack to cool for 15 to 20 minutes. Unmold the quiche, cut into wedges and serve.
Recommended wine: Bordeaux, Champagne, White Burgundy
Bordeaux, Champagne, and White Burgundy are great choices for French. French wine is just as diverse as French food, but you rarely go wrong with champagne. If your meal calls for a white wine, you might also try a white burgundy. For a red, try a red bordeaux blend. You could try Mouton Cadet Bordeaux Rouge. Reviewers quite like it with a 4 out of 5 star rating and a price of about 12 dollars per bottle.

Mouton Cadet Bordeaux Rouge
A dense red with a pronounced purple tint. The nose is expressive and complex, rich in fresh and ripe fruit aromas, especially red cherry and morello cherry, with a touch of spice. The attack, on the fruit, is rich and supple, the mid-palate full and fruity on silky tannins. Showing attractive length on the palate, it has a fresh and spicy finish that expresses all the typically character of the merlot and the very high quality of the vintage.
