Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat oven to 375.

2. Saute onions in butter a few minutes, until they begin to soften. Add mushrooms-dry mustard. Saute about 5 minutes more and take off heat.

3. Combine eggs, milk and flour in a food processor.

4. Spread cheese in pie crust and then onions/mushrooms on top. Pour in custard and sprinkle with paprika.

5. Bake 35-45 minutes or until solid in center. Serve hot, warm, or at room temperature.

Notes: Easy and very good - just as good as the higher-fat versions. Used more mushrooms (probably 10 ozs), and skim milk. Left out paprika. Would probably be my go-to quiche recipe.
