Grandma's Secret Trick

For special-occasion breakfasts, Grandma added two eggs to turn Mushroom Croustades into miniature quiches. She added the eggs to the mushroom mixture after removing the mixture from the heat, and she omitted the lemon juice. She baked the quiches as the recipe directs, then checked to see if the filling was set. If not, she baked them for 5 minutes longer.
