2 eggs
4 egg whites
1/4 cup non fat (or low fat) milk
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 10-ounce package of spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

Directions

Pre heat oven to 425. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray or olive oil.

In a medium bowl beat together eggs, eggwhites, milk, and salt and pepper. Set aside.

Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet over a medium-high heat. Add onion and cook for a few minutes or until they are translucent (about 5 minutes). Stir in garlic and spinach and cook for another couple of minutes.

Transfer veggie mixture to a large bowl and stir in Feta cheese and egg mixture. Mix in the rice and transfer everything into the pie pan. Smooth out the top using a spatula.

Bake the ‘pie’ for about 25 minutes or until lightly browned. Cool for a few minutes before cutting up. Enjoy!
