Directions

From: Floramaria Deter <fmc@...> Date: Fri, 2 Aug 1996 07:48:18 -0700 Combine bread crumbs, butter & parmesan; press into an 8" springform pan.

Bake @350 degrees for 10 min. until lightly browned. Remove from oven; lower oven temp. to 300. In a skillet saute onion until translucent. Add mushrooms & cook until they "sweat." Cool. Cream cheese, eggs, nutmeg, light cream & beer together until light and fluffy. Steam, drain & chop spinach coarsely. Squeeze in paper towels to remove excess liquid.

Carefully fold mushroom mixture & spinach into cheese mixture. Pour into prepared crust & bake for 1½ hours. Turn off oven; set door slightly ajar; and allow cake to cool for 2 hours in oven. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours before removing from pan. From "Brew Cuisine" MC-Recipe Digest V1 #180
