Perfect Mushroom, Feta and Tomato Quiche
A community recipe by RhyleysgrannyNot tested or verified by Nigella.com
Introduction
I have been on a quest to make a really good quiche. With thanks to Basilfawlty for the pastry recipe,Coby for her wonderful semi-dried tomatoes and the BBC's Ultimate Recipe Book and a little in put from myself I think it's nearly perfect. Tip --Don't use cheddar in a quiche-it goes oily at high temps Don't grate cheese into the base of the pastry case, it makes the custard heavy. The scattering of grated cheese on the top allows the top to brown nicely with out over cooking the quiche
