I have come across this recipe for sometime and have kept  reading  and googling to get the right one  as mushrooms have been my pick every time i see them in the malls . But sadly i am the only one who loves this especially when we had pizzas, my plate will be the dump hole for mushrooms and i would gladly always have a plateful of these .

Mushroom quiche is either easy or it could invovle a few  process. Usually it invovles a crust base and then filled with the egg mixture loaded with mushrooms.spinach or meat.
I enjoyed it for breakfast and can't wait for the mushrooms to hit the market again.

Notes
An adaptation from Julia Child.
  • Make sure to dry the ingredients.  
  • Wet ingredients will make for a soggy quiche especially the mushrroms So pat out moisture with paper towels or whatever you have to do to ensure that your ingredients are just dry before adding into the quiche dish.
  • Make sure to beat the eggs cream and milk to frothy before adding to the quiche as it will make your dish filling.
