Mushroom Crusted Quiche


Adapted from the old Sunshine magazine favorite recipes book
I've had this for years, but hadn't made it in a while. It is very rich and filling.

8 oz. chopped mushrooms sauteed in 2 T. butter. Stir in ½ c. cracker crumbs (like saltines, ritz, or healthy ones). Cool and press into a pie pan.

1 bunch of green onions, chopped, and sautéed in some butter. When done to your liking, spread in the bottom of the pie crust.

Top with ½ c. cooked, chopped spinach and
2 c. shredded cheese, jack or swiss are good.

Blend together (I use the food processor to chop the mushrooms, rinse off, then for this part):
1 c. cottage cheese
3 eggs

Pour over the pie. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 350 for 25-30 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a knife a little and see if it comes out clean. Cool to set 15 minutes before cutting and serving.
