Sorry!! but this quiche just never set, it was still milky after baking it an extra 25 minutes, a total of 45 minutes, I wondered if your 20 minute cook time was a typo. I really think 1 1/2 cups milk was just too much what with the moisture from the mushrooms too, I used fresh spinach and 3 extra large eggs. We felt there was too much in it also, I used a large, deep corningware quiche dish, 23cm,and it still spilled over into the oven as it cooked. The concept was good and it did have good taste, even with the soupy texture.

Strangely enough, I've become a better cook to lose weight. I joined eDiets and lost 100 pounds. Now I'm on the look out for tasty recipes that are easy to fix (I teach and often don't get home until after 5PM).
In addition to my kitchen, my favorite place is my garden. I have a combination flower/herb/veggie garden and love to grow a variety of vintage or unusual plants.
Because I teach I actually DO get a month off. I get up early to garden, sleep the hot afternoons away, then cook, read and watch movies.
My favorite cookbooks are Crazy Plates and Looneyspoons. They are full of delicious, lowfat recipes with tons of trivia and humor.
I teach science in a converted home ec kitchen. I love to use food as a teaching tool - making cheese to teach enzyme action, pickles to teach osmosis and diffusion, fudge to demonstrate igneous rock formation.
I love kitchen gadgets, KitchenAid, Le Creuset cookware and my cats.
