Vegetarian Quiche Recipe – Mushroom Quiche
The discovery of mushrooms dates back 4600 years ago to the Egyptian civilisation. The delicious flavour of mushrooms intrigued the pharaohs to such an extent that they decreed mushrooms were food for royalty and that no commoner could ever touch them.
While others believe that Louis XIV of France was the first mushroom grower. From there on the popularity spread all the way to England and by the late 19th century, mushroom production made its way across the Atlantic to the United States.
