• 1 medium onion chopped into very fine dice
• 6 large white mushrooms chopped into very fine dice
• 2 tablespoons sunflower oil for frying the onions and mushrooms
• 2 large eggs beaten

8. Stir well to combine and spoon into a greased baking dish.

Notes

• If you don’t have Panko breadcrumbs to hand you can substitute with 1 cup breadcrumbs made from grated day-old bread.
• Chop the mushrooms and onions into very fine dice – approximately 1/2 cm for the onions and 1 cm for the mushrooms.
• If you don’t have cream you can substitute with additional milk.
• I used a 9″ x 7″ pyrex baking dish.
• Fry the mushrooms and onions until they are quite dry.  If there is too much moisture left in the mixtue the tart will not set properly.
• Calories are per slice, assuming the quiche is cut into 8 pieces.
