Mushroom Zucchini Quiche is a delicious savory cheesy filling in a pie crust. This is perfect for breakfast or brunch!
When ever mom would have the ladies over the house to play pinochele back in the 1960's, she would make a brunch.
There would be appetizers trays, punch of some kind and a baked quiche for lunch with a big Italian antipasto.
It was always a treat when there were leftovers. I loved quiche. She just called it a zucchini pie.
As the years went on I adapted it to many other ingredients. Some pies were full of meat ,others just vegetables. At times I even omitted the crust and just made it all egg and vegetables. The cheese and crust are the best part. But if you are on a diet or watching carbs, make it the way you want. Either way with or without meat it's truly delicious!

Any combo's go together well, however, (using all vegetables you will need to squeeze out the juice of several of them before adding as this will make it too runny ) Fold into egg mixture.
Spread dough to fit thinly in a greased assorted style pans, IE: greased Quiche' pans with removable bottoms, or you can also use cupcake pans, or pie plate.
Roll out dough to fit into your preferred pan and pre- bake dough for 5 minutes on 350 degrees till set not browned.
Note: I like to brush my dough with an egg wash also before baking.
Take out slightly baked shell and pour your quiche' mixture over the dough.
Sprinkle with more shredded cheese or Parmesan cheese and bake on 400 degrees until brown. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.
