Leek and Shitake Mushroom Quiche

My Enchanted Broccoli Forest cookbook list the formula to create quiche = vegetable + custard + cheese. I made this one with leeks, shallots, and shitake mushrooms from our Open Oak CSA, which turned out to be quite similar to the mushroom quiche recipe in the Moosewood Cookbook (one of my favorites). It was really tasty!
