Instructions: Chop mushrooms. In medium-size skillet, melt half the butter and saute the mushrooms in it, stirring often. Crush the crackers into fine crumbs and stir them into the mush- rooms, blending well.

Spray a pie plate or quiche pan with nonstick spray, then press the mushroom-cracker mixture over the bottom and up the sides.

Warm the olive oil with the rest of the butter in the same skillet. Mince the onions and saute just until theyre limp. Meanwhile, shred the cheese. Sprinkle it and the
sauteed onions evenly over mushroom crust. Whirl cottage cheese, eggs, and pepper together in blender or food processor, and pour over all.

Bake at 350-F degrees for about a half hour (check it a few minutes earlier, though; you want to catch it when its set but not yet too brown). Allow to cool before slicing to serve.
