MUSHROOM AND SPINACH QUICHE WITH POTATO CRUST
A great makeover quiche with loads of flavor but not the calories! Cook Yourself Thin tv. :) You can add any veggies you like - experiment - the key is the crust "replacement" and the lower fat - less oils/butters and creams.

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.
ASPARAGUS AND MUSHROOM QUICHE WITH A BROWN RICE CRUST
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350. Put first 8 ingredients (tofu through salt) into blender. Puree until completely smooth, stirring a couple of times between blending. Mix rice with 3 tablespoons of the tofu mixture and the vegan parmesan (optional). Add freshly ground black pepper to taste. Spray a pie pan with cooking spray or canola oil, and press the rice into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven. Snap the tough ends off the asparagus and discard. Cut off the top 3 inches and set aside. Chop the remaining stalks into 1/2-inch pieces. Spray a medium non-stick saucepan with olive oil and heat. Add the shallots and cook for about 1 minute. Add the garlic, asparagus, and two tablespoons water. Cover and cook for 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, bell pepper, and 2 more tablespoons water. Cover and cook 2 more minutes. Remove cover, sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste, and cook, stirring, for a minute or two until most liquid has evaporated. Separate out the asparagus tips from the rest of the vegetables. (NOTE: Next time I will not pre-cook the asparagus tips; they should cook well enough in the oven.) Spread the vegetables (excluding the asparagus tips) on top of the rice crust. Pour the remaining tofu mixture over the vegetables, stirring lightly to distribute it through the vegetables. Arrange the asparagus tips over the top and spray lightly with olive oil. Bake for 60 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes before cutting (this helps make the quiche slice more cleanly, but if you don't care about that, go ahead and dig in; we did!) 4 servings: 223 Calories (kcal); 5g Total Fat; (18% calories from fat); 12g Protein; 34g Carbohydrate; 0mg Cholesterol; 441mg Sodium; 4g Fiber.

MUSHROOM CRUST QUICHE
Steps:
- Saute mushrooms in 3 Tbsp butter over medium heat until limp. Stir in crushed crackers. Turn into well-greased 9-inch pie pan, pressing mixture evenly over bottom and up sides. Melt remaining butter, cook onions until transparent. Spread onions over mushroom crust. Sprinkle evenly with shredded cheese. Blend cottage cheese, eggs and cayenne until smooth. Pour into crust and sprinkle with paprika. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Let stand 10-15 minutes before serving.
Tips:
- Prep your mushrooms: Make sure to clean and slice your mushrooms evenly so they cook evenly in the quiche.
- Use a variety of mushrooms: Don't be afraid to mix and match different types of mushrooms for a more complex flavor profile. Some good options include cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms.
- Cook the mushrooms properly: Sautéing the mushrooms until they are slightly browned will help to bring out their flavor and make them more tender.
- Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in any quiche, so make sure to use a good quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include Gruyère, cheddar, and Parmesan.
- Don't overfill the quiche crust: The quiche will puff up during baking, so don't fill the crust all the way to the top. Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top of the crust.
- Bake the quiche until it is set: The quiche is done baking when the center is set and the top is golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center of the quiche should come out clean.
Conclusion:
The mushroom crust quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover mushrooms.
