INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup butter
4 ounces cream cheese
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 pound fresh spinach, washed and trimmed or 1 package(10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach
1 cup grated Cheddar cheese (4 ounces)
1 cup grated Swiss cheese (4 ounces)
3 eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup milk
10 slices bacon, crisply cooked and crumbled
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 bunch green onions, trimmed and sliced
METHOD:
Combine the butter, cream cheese, and 1 cup of the flour in a small bowl. With a pastry blender or fork, cut the butter and cheese into the flour until crumbly.
Place the flour mixture in a pie plate or quiche pan and press evenly to form a crust. Refrigerate.
Preheat the oven to 350°F.
Cook the spinach, covered, in a saucepan until just tender. Drain well and chop. Drain again on paper toweling.
In a large bowl, combine the spinach with the 2 tablespoons flour and the remaining ingredients and mix well. Pour the egg-vegetable into the chilled pastry shell and bake for 1 hour, or until set. Serve hot.
