Crustless Crab and Mushroom Quiche

Submitted by Meredith K.

"This is fabulous! I got this from my mom, but I'm not sure where she got it originally. Be sure to get the mushrooms and crab blotted as dry as you can -- the secret to this quiche's success. This is great straight from the oven, but it's at least as good at room temperature, even the next day, which makes it a good choice for buffets and potlucks."
