How to Make Mushroom Crust Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan and set aside.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon garlic powder and mix well.
  4. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms and sauté until tender and most of the liquid is absorbed (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Stir in 1 cup of cracker crumbs and mix well to combine.
  6. Press the mushroom mixture firmly onto the bottom and up the sides of the prepared pie pan, forming the crust.
  7. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in the same skillet.
  8. Add 2 tablespoons of chopped green onions and sauté until softened (about 1 minute).
  9. Spread the sautéed green onions evenly over the mushroom crust.
  10. Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded Swiss cheese over the green onions.
  11. In a blender, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 3 large eggs, and 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Blend until smooth.
  12. Pour the egg mixture over the Swiss cheese in the pie crust.
  13. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired.
  14. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  15. Let stand for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
