Gail's Notes: I made one change to Paula's recipe and that was to add *precooked, sliced Cremini mushrooms! Talk about a good idea! It definitely kicked this up to a "gourmet" level (as if it wasn't there already!). I highly recommend including these mushrooms (if you make this if you love mushrooms).
This is THE BEST quiche I have ever tasted! Granted, it's not "healthy" by any stretch, but I highly recommend you try this recipe if you love quiche!
