Ingredients:
CRUST:
1/2 cup soft butter
3/4 cup instant mashed potato flakes
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt (can use white salt)
1/4 cup water
FILLING:
1-1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1/4 cup instant potato flakes
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes, well drained
1 (10-ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained (can use fresh sliced sauteed mushrooms)
EGG MIXTURE:
5 large eggs
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt (can use white salt
fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Set oven rack to lowest position.
Grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
For the crust; in a medium bowl stir together 1/2 cup melted butter with 3/4 cup instant mashed potato flakes, flour, Parmesan cheese and 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt; drizzle the water over then toss with a fork until the mixture holds together.
Using your fingers press into the pie pan then flute the edges.
Bake 10 minutes or until the mixture feels dry.
For the filling; over the baked crust spread 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, then 1/4 cup instant mashed potato flakes, canned drained tomatoes and mushrooms.
Top with remaining 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
For egg mixture; whisk or beat the eggs with, sour cream, salt and pepper.
Carefully pour the mixture over the ingredients in the pie shell, poking a hole here and there to allow the mixture to permeate the filling (do not poke holes in the crust).
Bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 25-30 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the filing is set.
Allow to sit 10-12 minutes before slicing.
