Mushroom Crust Quiche

Features:
    Cuisine:

    I've been making this recipe since the mid 1970s, when I first found it in Sunset's Favorite Recipes cookbook. Over the years, I have made a couple minor modifications that I think punches the flavor a bit. Instead of saltines use Wheat Thins., which makes for a crunchier crust. And, I always used chive cottage cheese, rather than plain. But since that flavor seems to have disappeared from grocery shelves, I add a good tablespoon of freeze dried chives to the egg/cottage cheese mixture. And, finally, I always used Monterey Jack cheese rather than Swiss (northern California girl here). So glad to see this recipe resurrected. I'm making this this weekend...so excited.
