"This is a great quiche and a nice change of pace as the mushrooms for the crust. It is easy to put together. I sometimes add chopped ham to this."

A very different quiche and very good!! I used portabello mushrooms for this and cheddar cheese. I also grated some nutmeg on top. I chopped up the mushrooms in a food processor to make it easy. I also fried up some onion and mixed it in with the egg mixture. Good little recipe. -
This was a very nice surprise! Not at all quiche tasting, but really interesting. I added some chopped tomatoes to the top and they matched very well with the onion. I used low fat ingredients with good results. Will play around with different veggies...this seems really versatile. Thanks for sharing! -
This turned out very tasty. I loved the mushroom crust. Not only do you get to avoid making and eating a regular pie crust, but it tastes really good. I used low fat cheeses for the filling and added a bit more spices, but otherwise made as directed. We will make this again for sure. It makes a lovely weeknight meal as it is easy to put together and tastes great. Thanks for posting!

OK lets see...My name is Diane and I'm married to a wonderful guy -- going on 20 years. We have 2 kids -- 1 daughter and 1 son a 70lb german shepard, a fat cat and a very snobby cat! I work a couple of days a week in the Loop and the rest of my time is spent sitting at the kids sporting events. I love to try new recipes. Luckily, hubby will try just about anything. The kids aren't so eager about that, but are generally very good sports about it!
