this is a crustless quiche...one of my all time favorite things to make. it's so good, i usually make 2 at a time. if you don't like cottage cheese, no worries, you can't even taste it..and i have made the quiche without the cayenne pepper too...if you don't like the extra kick, it's good both ways.

ZUCCHINI QUICHE


INGREDIENTS:

1 cup chopped zucchini
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 cup chopped tomatoes
1/2 tsp basil
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper

2 large egg whites
3/4 cup egg substitute
2/3 cup fat free cottage cheese
1/4 cup skim milk
1/2 cup fat free parmesean cheese

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray a 9-inch pie pan plate and a medium saucepan with nonfat cooking spray.

Heat saucepan over a medium heat and add zucchini, mushrooms, onion powder and garlic powder; cook until vegetables are soft and tender. Remove pan from heat; stir in tomatoes, basil, cayenne pepper and mix well.

In a separate small bowl, combine egg whites, egg substitute, cottage cheese, milk, and 3 TBSP parmesean cheese; blend until smooth. Fold into vegetable mixture; mix well. Pour in prepared pan; sprinkle with remaining parmesean cheese.

    I just put one in the oven. I made it with zucchini, yellow squash, mushroom, and onion (all left over from last night) Used 1 cup egg sub since I did not have any real eggs.

    Smells great, can't wait to try it :-)

    Sorry if this is a stupid question, but what is the egg substitute for? Could this also be made with just normal eggs?
