  • 8 ounces chopped mushrooms
  • 1 egg
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup fat-free sour cream
  • 3 ounces lean ham, chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
  • 6 ounces shredded low-fat Swiss cheese
  • 1 ready-made 9-inch pie crust

Directions

Heat the oven to 350 F.

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, egg whites and sour cream. Stir in the sauteed onions, ham and cheese. Pour the mixture into the unbaked pie shell.
