Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a deep 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
• In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the mushrooms and onion for 3 minutes, or until tender, stirring frequently.
• Stir in the garlic. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring frequently.
• Pour in the milk. Heat for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes, or until hot but not boiling. Remove from the heat.
• Stir in the spinach, rice, egg substitute, Jarlsberg, Parmesan, nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce, breaking up any large clumps of spinach. Carefully pour into the pie pan.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center of the pie comes out clean. Sprinkle with additional hot sauce.
• Cook's Tip on Draining Spinach
• A potato ricer, a gadget that resembles a very large garlic press, is ideal for making creamy mashed potatoes. As a bonus, it is handy for easily pressing water out of cooked or thawed spinach.
• Cook's Tip on Jarlsberg Cheese
• A mild Swiss-style cheese with large irregular holes, Jarlsberg is smooth and melts readily. Check the gourmet cheese section of the supermarket for the low-fat variety of this delicious cheese. If you can't find it, you can substitute low-fat Swiss, but the total fat, saturated fat, and sodium of the Swiss will be higher.
