Crustless Mushroom and Spinach Pie
- Cooking spray
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 4 ounces presliced fresh button mushrooms
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 teaspoon bottled minced garlic or 1 medium garlic clove, minced
- 1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
- 1 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, drained well, and squeezed dry
- 1 cup uncooked instant brown rice
- 1/2 cup egg substitute
- 3 slices (3/4 ounce each) low-fat Jarlsberg cheese, cut into 1-inch strips
- 1/4 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon red hot-pepper sauce, plus more for sprinkling if desired
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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 cant find it, you can substitute low-fat Swiss, but the total fat, saturated fat, and sodium of the Swiss will be higher.
