You can have this homemade quiche ready in just 25 minutes. I like to serve a warm, inviting quiche for a quick midweek supper, but don't want to fuss with pastry dough. The secret to saving time and calories is to use bread crumbs for the crust instead. You can still slice and serve the quiche with this crust.
A tossed green salad is all you need to complete the meal.
Fred Tasker's wine suggestion: I'd try a festive rose sparkling wine.
Helpful Hints:
_ If whole wheat bread crumbs are not available, process 2 slices of whole wheat bread in the food processor to make crumbs.
_ Any type of mushrooms can be used. If using meaty portobello mushrooms, bake pie 5 minutes longer as they will add more liquid to the pie.
_ A casserole dish can be used instead of a pie plate.
Countdown:
_ Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
_ Prepare ingredients.
_ Make quiche.
