Ingredients:

1 (15-ounce) package refrigerated piecrusts

2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms

2 teaspoons vegetable oil

1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded swiss cheese

1/2 cup (2 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup picante sauce or salsa picante

1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

1/2 small green bell pepper, chopped

1/4 cup ripe olives, chopped

Directions:

2. Bake on lowest oven rack at 425° for 15 minutes. Remove weights and foil; cool.
3. Sauté mushrooms in hot oil over medium-high heat 5 minutes or until golden brown and liquid is absorbed. Set aside.
4. Combine cheeses; set aside.
5. Stir together eggs and next 3 ingredients in a bowl; add mushrooms, bell pepper, and olives.
6. Pour half of egg mixture into prepared crust. Sprinkle evenly with two-thirds cheese mixture. Top with remaining egg mixture; sprinkle with remaining cheese mixture.
7. Bake at 375° for 40 to 45 minutes or until set, shielding edges with aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
