This is the quiche that I make most often. I created this recipe because I just love a good quiche. I use canned mushrooms for convenience, but you may use fresh sautéed mushrooms, if desired. Sprinkle with a little black truffle salt, if available, for even more deliciousness!

If this step is skipped, it will increase baking time to approximately 1 hour.
