Herb and Mushroom Quiche - from Get Cracking! image

This is one of my favourite quiche recipes. I received the recipe card and spice packet from the Egg Producers of Nova Scotia. I do change it slightly for our tastes, by using either a mild cheddar or marble in place of the swiss. I also go the 'crustless' route. If you add extra mushrooms and onions (like I often do), I suggest putting them, along with the cheeses in the pie plate first. Then pour the egg mixture on top. ;)

2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
cooking spray (optional)
1 unbaked pie shell, 9-inch (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375*.

  • Stir in seasonings and set aside to cool slightly.
  • Whisk eggs and cream until well combined. Stir in the mushroom mixture, cheeses and parsley.
