I have made this a few times and really enjoy it. Yesterday I added some basil to the mix. I added my notes at the end. Very easy recipe with a lovely presentation!
Enjoy!

Barb's notes:
Recipe is extremelly forgiving. I have used a variety of different cheeses, depending on what I happen to have in the fridge. Same with the vegies. I have also added fresh basil in the past. Important to note how the vegies are really kept in large strips/pieces vs. Chopped finely...
What I enjoy most is that you can make it in stages, the vegies the night before, followed by the egg mixture/cooking the following morning. (I reheat the vegies in the micro, prior to adding to the eggs.....Not too hot, though, you don't want to scramble the eggs) The shrooms tend to give off alot of liquid. If not absorbed, I drain the vegies in a colander. I also dry out the bread in the oven the night before to add more texture/depth. I also use a 9 inch springform, vs. 10 inch...'cause that is what I own!
Enjoy!
