Ingredients

• 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

• 5 mushrooms, sliced
• 1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

Recipe

• 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.
