Very well flavored and well received. Unfortunately I had no basil, but upped the other herbs a bit. And canned evaporated milk worked perfectly. Next time I might try "herbs de Provence" for an entirely different taste. This is a really good recipe, very adaptable, and easy to make.

Outstanding. This is by far the very best mushroom quiche I've ever had. The seasoning is perfect, and the amount of mushrooms is amazing. Mushroom lovers rejoice. Made as written, and it fit into the store bought frozen pie shell. This is the only recipe I'll use from now on. Thanks Lane, for the Perfect quiche.

This quiche is full of wonderful flavor! It is so simple to put together. It would be delicious for breakfast or brunch - company worthy. I made it exactly as stated and it turned out beautifully in 35 minutes. Made for Election Eats 2008 tag game.

I was looking for a quiche without cheese just to help lower the fat content. I found this to fit the bill. I made mine crustless and used coconut oil instead of butter, and coconut milk instead of the dairy suggested. It came out beautifully. When cooking it this way, it feeds 4 nicely.
