Broccoli Mushroom Feta cheese Quiche

Bergy's Note:

This recipe was originally in the "Horn of the Moon Cookbook" - a wonderful Vegetarian cook book - I have modified and changed the recipe adding garlic and using Feta Cheese instead of Sour cream.- Serve this with a green salad and enjoy

Great recipe--we didn't even miss the meat. When I brought this quiche out to the table my kids asked if we were having pizza pie for dinner--it looked so yummy and smelled great when it was cooking. We ate every crumb. The only change I may make next time is to use a bigger pie pan instead of using a store-bought frozen pie crust which I used this time.

Delicious and easy to put together. Thanks for posting!

I made this quiche for a dinner party and it was a big hit! I made a couple of changes: 1) I mixed the veggies and toppings together to keep it more cohesive. 2) I considerably reduced the amount of shredded cheese- 1/2 cup in the mixture, 1/2 cup sprinkled on top. I made them in 12 mini cupcake sized pie crusts so baking time was reduced by 15 minutes. Delicious!
