  • 2 cups grated Cabot Alpine cheddar cheese divided

  • Spoon the nutmeg mushrooms onto the top of the egg mixture in a single layer.
  • Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top of the mushrooms.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F. for 60 minutes or until the quiche is puffed, golden brown, and a table knife inserted in the center comes out clean.
