Marie's Mushroom Quiche

Submitted by Mad Maryno

"A yummy vegan quiche that goes well with green salad and tomatoes... good both hot and cold. I know the ingredients may seem weird, but it's delicious, almost like that mushroom/cream cheese quiche i used to eat as a lacto-ovo."

I prepared this as written and did not like it at all. The flavor was okay but the texture was very mushy and the color was an unappealing brown. I wanted so much to like it as I cannot eat traditional quiche b/c of lactose intolerance.

This is excellent. I'm not vegan but I eat vegetarian and vegan foods quite often. Even as someone who is used to the regular eggy quiches, I quite liked this. :) I added in a bit of chopped bell pepper, just for a bit of extra colour and flavour - it was a good addition. Definitely will make this again. Thanks for another great recipe, MM! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this Spring's PAC]
