                        Salt
   8      lg            Mushrooms -- sliced
   2      tb            Butter
   2      c             Monterey Jack cheese -- grated
   8      oz            Pkg cream cheese
     1/2  c             Whipped cream
   2                    Egg yolks
   1                    Egg
                        Salt & pepper -- to taste

Spread the bottom of a pastry shell with mustard. Bake in a 450°F
oven for 10 minutes. Cool. Reduce oven heat to 350°F. Place zucchini
in colander, sprinkle with salt and drain 5 minutes. Saute mushrooms
in butter. Sprinkle 1 cup of Jack cheese in the bottom of the pastry
shell. Spoon mushrooms on top. Squeeze zucchini to remove excess
moisture. Place in shell, separating and fluffing with fingers. Beat
together cream cheese, cream, egg yolks, and egg, season with salt
and pepper. Place the pastry dish on a baking sheet and carefully
pour in egg-cream mixture. Sprinkle the remaining Jack cheese on top.
Bake in a 350°F oven for 45 minutes, until top is puffed and golden
and a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Let stand 5 minutes
before cutting. Very rich.

Yield: 6 Servings
