• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 13
• Serves: 6

ingredients

• 1 -9 inch deep dish pie shell
• 1⁄4 lb diced bacon
• 1⁄4 lb diced ham
• 12 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms
• 2 teaspoons chopped garlic
• 1 cup fresh baby spinach leaves
• 6 eggs
• 1⁄4 cup parmesan cheese
• 1⁄2 cup feta cheese with dried basil and tomato or 1/2 cup plain feta
• 1⁄2 cup large curd cottage cheese
• 1⁄4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper

directions

1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. In a large skillet, cook bacon and ham for 5 minutes, until done, stirring occasionally. Add chopped mushrooms and continue to cook for another 8 minutes, until mushrooms start to release some liquid.
2. Add chopped garlic and spinach. Stir and cook until the spinach is wilted, about 2 or 3 minutes. Set the skillet off the heat to cool a few minutes while the egg mixture is being prepared. In a large mixing bowl, beat eggs until well blended. Mix in the cheeses, one at a time. Add nutmeg, salt and pepper. Mix all together well.
3. Slowly add the cooled mushroom-spinach mixture to the eggs and cheese. Combine all of this well and pour into the 9 inch deep dish pie shell.
4. Place pie on a cookie sheet that is lined with foil and bake for 30 minutes at 325 degrees.
5. Remove from oven and cool 15-20 minutes before slicing.

I try to cut fat/carbs so instead of the deep dish pie crust I sub'd thinly sliced potato to line the pie plate. For the meat I used kuby & breaky sausage (drained). Tasty recipe, thanks for sharing.
