Mushroom Quiche That is as Tasty as it Looks

Continuing my quiche obsession and newfound love affair with dough, I figured it was time to level up my game with some quiches that are not just delicious, but also pretty enough to show off.

After savoring the sweet potato and red onion quiche, my taste buds started demanding something a bit more savory, but still with that perfect crunch. Naturally, it was only a matter of time before mushrooms - one of my all-time favorite veggies - took center stage.

So, in this recipe, I’m diving into my first-ever mushroom quiche! The dough has a little twist, but the basics are still the same.

The Recipe inspired by the blog "foodsdictionary"
