Mushroom Crusted Quiche - TNT x 2 (oh yes, it's to die for) ::) xpost

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

This was first posted by " Katie <crill Dec., 1999 to TNT

list. I made it tonight. YEOW! It's so good!! Use as a main dish or

perhaps an appetizer. It's vegetarian...but tastes very beefy (to me). It

is just toooo good. I will be making this again and again...especially

for special occasions. Thanks Katie!! I loved it!!

Brenda's 11/00 kitchen test: Awesome tasting. I added about 1/2 t. salt,

used part leeks/part green onions... about 1 to 1-1/2 cups jack cheese. I

sauteed the onions in part olive oil/part butter. I used one container of

cottage cheese (1 lb.). This is so good it should be

outlawed. Rich. Serves about 4 to 6. Could be served in squares...or pie

shapes. For an evening 'breakfast' or as an appetizer. I bake mine in a

large ceramic tart dish. This is something I would take to our family's

Christmas party. (Reminds me of a mushroom/cream cheese crusted turnover I

buy frozen at the market - which is higher in fat but the taste is quite

similar.)
