Made it today with the following mods -
used 1 tsp oil- all you really need to saute stuff
used 2 whole eggs and 2 whites

That made 1/2 the 'pie' 186. Served with 1/2 a bagel thin with laughing cow spread and its a nice start to my Saturday. Good recipe!

Okay so we had tons of spinach and I had to make recipes fast since I hate throughing it away. I researched on here and many websites and found the perfect quiche (I believe). I just omited the onions and red pepper flakes (only b/c I didn't have them on hand), and it still turned out. I just wanted to share with ya!! Enjoy!

Ingredients:
For cooking in a pan:
2 Tbsp oil
1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 cups chopped mushrooms
3 cups chopped spinach
Red pepper flakes
Salt
Pepper

For the custard:
4 eggs (could use egg substitute)
1/2 cup milk (I used 2 %)
2 wedges of The Laughing Cow cheese
Salt and pepper

Method:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with some oil.

Heat oil in a large skillet, over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, followed by the red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Next, add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until all the liquid released evaporates. Add spinach and cook, stirring, just until spinach wilts. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Whisk together the eggs, milk, salt and pepper until smooth. Stir in the cheese. Spread the vegetable mixture in an even layer in the pie dish. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetable mixture.

Bake at 375 F for about 35 minutes, until the quiche is slightly puffed and golden brown on top.

I initially cut into 8 slices, but after looking at the size and also the nutrition I've been eating a 1/4 of the pie.

Now here's the biggy......
Nutrition per 1/4 of the pie
Calorie 98
Fat 6
Sodium 172
Protein 8
Carbs 2
Sugar 1

Now to add some fruit to a slice of bread and call your breakfast complete or even spinach it out more with a smoothie.... 1/2c spinach, 1/2 cup frozen berries, 1c soy milk, and a sprinkle of splenda...... also delicious!!!!

Yummy! It is full of Deliciousness! Thanks for sharing your low calorie recipe idea! Have a blessed and prosperous day! † ♥♥HUGS♥♥

I just wanna say that I love the little elephant lol...

But anyway, I have it in the oven now, smells so good, I just used 1tsp of oil and 1/4 cup of reduced fat colby jack cheese instead of laughing cow and no milk (since i didn't have any)...we'll see how it turns out

Thanks for the recipe, I love quiche, but have avoided it since it is usually high in calories due to the crust...but no crust here! yay!
