Breakfast is the perfect time to indulge on your favourite foods. If you’ve gone to brunch, you’ve likely eaten a frittata or quiche, both of which are delicious breakfast pies. Our mushroom and cheese tart blends these traditional quiche components into a fluffy, light pie. Our recipe is ideal for individuals who like breakfast and appreciate throwing a weekend flavour celebration for their family.
Mushroom and cheese tart suggestions
This recipe serves two, but you can simply increase the size of the tart by adjusting the quantities of each ingredient. The beaten egg whites help make the filling light and airy, so avoid over-mixing. If you don’t want to use canned creamed mushrooms, you may prepare your own. Add feta cheese, fish, and spinach to enhance these traditional flavours. Alternatively, add bacon to this base recipe. To accompany, we recommend a green salad.
A great quiche is not limited to breakfast alone. Prefer our mushroom and cheese tart with the people you enjoy spending time with at any time of day.
