Ingredients
- 1 pre-made whole wheat pie crust (or homemade if you prefer)
- 1 cup of fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup of bell peppers, chopped (any color you like)
- 1/2 cup of mushrooms, sliced
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup of low-fat milk
- 1 cup of shredded low-fat cheese (cheddar or your favorite variety)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: herbs like basil or oregano for an extra flavor kick
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large skillet, sauté the onions and bell peppers over medium heat until they are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the mushrooms and spinach, cooking until the spinach is wilted and everything is heated through, approximately 3-4 minutes more. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, low-fat milk, salt, and pepper until combined.
- Sprinkle the sautéed vegetables evenly over the pie crust, followed by the shredded cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture over the top, ensuring the veggies and cheese are evenly distributed.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the middle and lightly golden on top.
- Allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
This Slimming Friendly Veggie Quiche is versatile; feel free to swap out veggies based on what you have on hand or what’s in season. You can even add some cooked protein like chicken or turkey to make it more filling. Enjoy your healthy quiche as a part of a balanced diet!
