Mushroom and Goat Cheese Quiche

In this recipe, a mushroom and goat cheese quiche is stuffed with chunks of goat cheese and loads of mushrooms, basil and oregano and it’s baked in an herbed crust.

What makes this quiche different is that it’s loaded with herbs and three varieties of mushrooms. Since we’re big-time mushroom lovers, it’s the perfect choice for our family. If you’re a mushroom lover, you’ll enjoy it too!

We adore goat cheese, but I’m sure you could sub feta if you’re not fond of goat. If you don’t care for mushrooms, well then I’ll just tell you to go find another quiche. This one is meant for mushrooms. It’s a delicious quiche to make for brunch or a light dinner. Enjoy!
