Mushrooms and onion cooked down until the onions caramelize and the mushrooms give up their water, then set with eggs, milk, Swiss and Parmesan in a whole wheat crust. Spinach goes in too.
Blind-bake the crust for eight minutes first, and toss the cheese with a little flour before it goes in. The flour keeps the custard from weeping as it sets.
