Servings: persons

1 frozen pie crust
1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed
3/4 cup half-and-half or 3/4 cup whole milk
4 eggs
1/2 cup grated gruyere cheese
1/2 cup grated asiago cheese
1/2 cup grated gouda cheese or 1/2 cup Fontina cheese
5 mushrooms, sliced
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1
Drain the spinach very, very well. I squeeze it and them roll it in paper towels to get all liquid out - otherwise, a soggy pie.
2
Place spinach in pie shell.
3
Top spinach with mushrooms.
4
Sprinkle nutmeg over mushroom.
5
Top mushrooms with cheese.
6
Beat eggs well and add half and half, salt and pepper.
7
Pour egg mixture over cheese, being careful not to let it run over edges of the pie. I use the tip of a knife to move the cheese a bit so that the egg mixture can get through to the bottom of the pie.
8
Bake at 350F for 45-50 minutes. Top will be lightly browned and it won't look wet. Let it sit for about 10 minutes before cutting and serving.
