Ingredients
For the crust:
- Cooking spray
- 3/4 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons cold, unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 3 tablespoons cold, lowfat buttermilk
For the filling:
- 4 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 large onion, sliced thinly into half moons
- 8 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms, such as cremini, oyster, shiitake
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves (or 1 teaspoon dry)
- 3 large eggs
- 3 egg whites
- 1 cup evaporated fat-free milk (not condensed milk)
- 2/3 cup grated Gruyere cheese (about 1-ounce)
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
To prepare the crust, put the oats, flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor and pulse 3 times to combine. Add the butter and pulse about 12 times, until you get a pebbly course texture. Add the buttermilk and pulse 3 to 5 times more to combine. Form the mixture into a ball and place it between 2 large pieces of waxed paper. Roll out into a circle about 10 inches in diameter.
Remove the top sheet of waxed paper. Transfer the crust, still on the other piece of waxed paper to the pie dish, then remove the waxed paper from the top. Press the crust gently into the dish. Bake for 9 minutes, then let cool.
To prepare the filling, heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large nonstick pan over a medium-low heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 20 minutes. Transfer the onions to a bowl. Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of oil to the pan and heat over a medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they have released their water and begin to brown, about 6 minutes. Add the onions back to the pan, stir in the salt, pepper, mustard and thyme.
In a medium bowl whisk together the eggs, egg whites and evaporated milk.
Sprinkle the cheese into the pie crust. Top with the mushroom-onion mixture and pour the egg mixture on top. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees F. Bake for 35 minutes or until knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Let stand for 5 minutes before cutting into 6 wedges and serving.

The flavors work but I have to say that the proportions were totally off. There was barely enough dough to cover the lips of the pie dish and way too much filling. I had to throw half of it out. I am going to try again by using a 9 and 1/2 inch pie dish and doubling the dough. I also used sage instead of thyme since its what I had and it was delicious.

This recipe was a hit at a family brunch yesterday. I made 1.5 times the recipe and baked it in an 11-in ceramic quiche/tart pan. There was enough filling, but I was a little short on the crust, so next time would make a bit more dough. The dough was slightly dry so I added just a bit more liquid to make it come together better. The oat crust was light and crispy and a great complement to the quiche filling. I followed the recipe pretty closely, though added a couple handfuls of finely chopped swiss chard after cooking down the mushrooms (I used oyster and shiitake, and a dash of nutmeg. I would probably use a bit less cheese next time (personal preference. My husband said it was the best quiche he's ever had!

WOW! Loved this recipe! Made it for a Christmas morming brunch. The crust was made gluten free using Bisquick GF Baking Mix. To maximize time Christmas mirning, I cooked the caramelized onions and mushrroms the night before and refrigerated it. Baked the crust and mixed the filling together the next morning. No leftovers with this one. (If you don't have Gruyere cheese Swiss cheese is a good substitute.. Will be making muffin sized versions to freeze and eat when on the go!
