Wild Mushroom and Feta Quiche

Wild Mushroom and Feta Quiche

There rich and grounding quiche pays homage to my french ancestors on my mother side. This kind of meal will ground and nourish Vata and Pitta with its salty taste and protein rich filling but may aggravate Kapha. Using the leeks as a replacement for scallops in combination with the mushrooms seriously enhances the taste.
