Tips to make the perfect mushroom quiche

Careful not to overcook the mushrooms!
You can make your own Italian herbs mix using equal parts dried basil, thyme, hot chili and oregano.
Use ceramic baking beans to hold the pastry dough in place while you are preheating it.
Make crustless mushroom quiche by lining a quiche mold with wax paper and pouring the mixture directly in (without the crust).

We make this quiche regularly and have made it for friends several times and it’s always a favorite dish! We serve it with a side salad and a dash of our French vinaigrette. If you are a mushroom lover, then make sure you stop by to try our decadent Italian 3 mushroom pasta and French pumpkin mushroom bowls with brown rice (healthy + naturally vegan too). Part of the fun of making these dishes for us is being able to shop for mushrooms in our local Parisian markets.

Add your own twist to this French mushroom quiche

You can swap out the mushrooms and replace with asparagus to make a cheesy asparagus quiche.
You can swap out the mushrooms and replace with broccoli to make a cheesy broccoli quiche.
Rather than serving this French mushroom quiche for dinner, cut it up into smaller pieces and serve with cocktails the next time you have friends over. We’ve served this quiche with our Kir Breton cocktails in the past.
