How to Make Mushroom Crust Quiche

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a large bowl, combine the crushed mushroom crackers, melted butter, and Parmesan cheese. Mix until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly into a 9-inch pie plate to form the crust.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper.
Stir in the cottage cheese, sautéed mushrooms, and green onions.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared crust.
Bake for 30-45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and golden brown. Check for doneness with a knife inserted near the center; it should come out clean.
Let cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
