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).

This quiche was a disappointment. The crust was dry and crumbly, and the filling was watery and bland. I wouldn't recommend this recipe to anyone.

This recipe is missing some important details. For example, it doesn't specify what kind of cheese to use or how long to bake the quiche. I had to do some research online to fill in the gaps.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my quiche didn't turn out as expected. The crust was too soggy and the filling was bland. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I'll try again another time.
