OK - so I've been playing around with a quiche recipe I found in Cuisine at Home and I think I've mastered it down to simplicity. So if you like quiche, give this a try... as you can see I could not even wait to take a picture before I had a bite...Ingredients:
3/4 c. 2% cottage cheese
9 egg whites (use boxed egg whites, in egg sect.)
3 whole eggs
Filling:
Option 1:
dash olive oil
1/4c. onion, diced
3c. baby spinach
4oz. ham steak ( I buy Cumberland farms diced ham)
1T. chives (or green onions)
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 Red pepper, sliced into rings
3/4c. cheddar cheese, grated
Option 2:
dash olive oil
1/4c. onion, chopped
1-1/2 c. steamed broccoli
7 slices bacon (pre-baked in oven)
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes
1 Red pepper, sliced into rings
3/4c. cheddar cheese, grated
Directions:
1. Coat a deep pie dish with cooking spray, place on baking sheet.
2. Puree cottage cheese in blender, add egg whites, and eggs, blend.
3. Saute onion in oil until softened, then add remaining ingredients. Transfer mixture to pie dish.
4. Pour egg mixture into the pie dish over ingredients.
5. Layer red pepper on top, then sprinkle with cheese.
6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until filling is set in the center.
Enjoy!
