recipe for quiche
I know everyone loves a good recipe (including myself )
If you like spinach and quiche, you'll love this!
I've been making this for years, made some now being post op and froze it by the slice since I wont be able to eat an entire pie before it goes bad.. the thing i like about this quiche is the cheese at the bottom of the dish makes a crust (plus its extra protein and we need all the protein we can get right? )
spinach muenster quiche
8 ounces Muenster cheese (lowfat), sliced (you could use any type of cheese I usually stick to muenster, but have low fat mozzarella before)
2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
2 eggs
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened (low fat)
salt and pepper to taste
garlic powder to taste
4 ounces Muenster cheese (lowfat), sliced (again, you could use any type of cheese I usually stick to muenster, but have low fat mozzarella before)
Preheat oven to 350F.
Line a quiche dish or 9 inch pie pan with the 8 ounces of Muenster cheese slices.
Carefully press all of the water out of the spinach and place it in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs, Parmesan cheese, cream cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder; stir well. Spoon mixture into pan and top with remaining cheese slices.
Bake in preheated oven for 35 minutes and allow to sit on a baking rack for 10 minutes before serving. Decrease oven temperature by 25 degrees F if using glass pie dish.
If you like sundried tomatoes (not in oil) they're a good add to this as well!
Quiche makes 8 slices and has 17.4 gr of protein in a slice
