Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds carrots, peeled and cut into 1/4 inch slices
5 ounces unsalted butter
1/4 pound mushrooms, sliced
1/2 pound spinach, cleaned, with stems removed
5 eggs
4 ounces grated Swiss cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Saute the carrots slowly in 2 ounces of butter until tender. Chop coarsely and reserve in a large mixing bowl.
  • Over high heat, saute the mushrooms in 1-ounce of butter for 2 minutes. Chop coarsely and add them to the carrots.
  • Saute spinach in 1-ounce of butter. Chop coarsely and reserve separately. When the spinach is cool, add 1 egg and mix thoroughly.
  • Beat together the remaining eggs and the cheese. Combine this mixture thoroughly with the carrots and mushrooms. Add salt and pepper. Taste and correct seasonings, if necessary.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line the bottom of an 8 1/2 by 4 1/2 by 2 1/2-inch loaf pan with parchment paper. Butter the pan and the parchment with the remaining 1-ounce of butter. Fill the pan with half the carrot mixture, cover with the spinach, and top with the remaining carrot mixture. Top with another piece of buttered parchment paper
  • Place in a bain-marie, and bake in oven for 1 hour and 15 minutes, or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Invert onto a warm serving platter and remove the foil. Slice and serve immediately.
