Spinach, Red Pepper, Mushroom and Feta Quiche

This quiche initially was not supposed to have mushrooms, but I did not have another jar of pimentos and I was too lazy to go to the store again so I substituted with mushrooms I found in my pantry.  And somehow we ran out of parmesan cheese (probably from when I made my beans) so I found some shredded asiago and used that in place.  This turned out well, its probably my favorite quiche so far.  The key is to find the perfect center because the crust is always irresistible.
