AVOCADO AND MUSHROOM QUICHE
Mushrooms with a hint of curry, combined with creamy sliced avocado, produce an unusual but interesting dish. You should be able to detect the curry, but it shouldn't be searingly hot, so adjust the amount as necessary. This is a 'crustless' quiche and is served directly from the dish in which it is cooked. I serve it as a first course, or for a light lunch, and my guests always seem to enjoy it. You could also have it on a picnic. Recipe from Beverley Sutherland Smith.

Tips:
- Use ripe avocados: Ripe avocados are creamier and have a richer flavor. To check if an avocado is ripe, gently squeeze it. It should give slightly to the touch.
- Don't overcook the mushrooms: Mushrooms should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. Overcooked mushrooms will be tough and chewy.
- Use a good quality cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly affect the flavor of your quiche. Use a cheese that melts well and has a strong flavor, such as cheddar, Gruyère, or Swiss.
- Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeaten eggs will make your quiche tough. Whisk the eggs just until they are combined.
- Bake the quiche until it is set: The quiche is done baking when the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
