French Mushroom Quiche by A Hedgehog in the Kitchen

This French mushroom quiche is an easy French vegetarian recipe to make. The best thing about making a quiche is that you can eat it for lunch or dinner one day and enjoy leftovers the next day. I happen to think quiches are even more delicious reheated sometimes than when they first come out of the oven!
