Mushroom Quiche or Gratin - Adapted from Julia Child image

I adore Julia's recipes but tend to simplify them by omitting some of the details and using less butter. I also use milk instead of cream and find it rich enough for my taste. When I make this dish, I usually omit the crust (the "gratin" version).

The quiche was a bit too oniony. I think I'll use less onion next time.

This quiche is a great way to use up leftover mushrooms. I always have a few in the fridge, and this is a delicious way to use them up.
