MUSHROOM AND SPINACH QUICHE WITH POTATO CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Lightly grease a 9-inch glass or ceramic pie dish with 1/4 teaspoon oil. Toss potatoes with 1 teaspoon oil and 1/8 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Press into an even layer in pie dish, up the sides like a crust. Bake until golden brown at the edges and dry, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
• Lower the oven to 325 degrees. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over medium heat. Add onion and cook until softened and golden, about 5 minutes. Add remaining teaspoon oil and mushrooms and cook, stirring, until mushrooms release their liquid and most of the liquid evaporates, about 8 minutes. Add spinach and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper, and cook, stirring, just until spinach wilts, about 30 seconds. Let cool slightly.
• Whisk together eggs, milk and remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt and pepper. Spread the mushroom mixture in an even layer in the pie dish, and top with an even layer of the cheese. Carefully pour in egg mixture. Bake until firm around the edges but still wobbly in the center, about 20 minutes. Let cool, and serve warm or at room temperature.

CRUSTLESS MUSHROOM AND SPINACH PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a deep 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the mushrooms and onion for 3 minutes, or until tender, stirring frequently.
• Stir in the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
• Pour in the milk. Heat for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until hot but not boiling. Remove from the heat.
• Stir in the spinach, rice, egg substitute, Jarlsberg, Parmesan, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce, breaking up any large clumps of spinach. Carefully pour into the pie pan.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean. Sprinkle with additional hot sauce.
• Cook's Tip on Draining Spinach
• A potato ricer, a gadget that resembles a very large garlic press, is ideal for making creamy mashed potatoes. As a bonus, it is handy for easily pressing water out of cooked or thawed spinach.
• Cook's Tip on Jarlsberg Cheese
• A mild Swiss-style cheese with large irregular holes, Jarlsberg is smooth and melts readily. Check the gourmet cheese section of the supermarket for the low-fat variety of this delicious cheese. If you can't find it, you can substitute low-fat Swiss, but the total fat, saturated fat, and sodium of the Swiss will be higher.

POTATO-MUSHROOM PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 13-by-9-inch baking dish; set aside. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add half of the mushrooms; cook until they are slightly softened. Add remaining mushrooms; cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have released their juices and most of the liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Add wine; cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.
• Combine cheeses in a small bowl; set aside. Cover bottom of prepared dish with potato slices, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle with half of the thyme and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheese and half of the mushroom mixture. Repeat layering process, using all but 2 tablespoons cheese. Arrange remaining potato slices, slightly overlapping, around the edge of the dish. Stir together milk and cream in a bowl, and pour over top. At this point, dish can be refrigerated, covered, up to 1 day; let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before baking.
• Cover loosely with foil, and bake until bubbling, about 1 hour. Remove foil, and sprinkle with reserved cheese. Bake until top is golden, 20 to 30 minutes more. Transfer dish to a wire rack; let cool 10 minutes before serving.
