This recipe came from a Bariatric cookbook - the only change I made was to reduce the cheese, and use eggbeaters.  I'm posting the original recipe, since that's what the nutrional info is based on.


Spinach Quiche

2 tsp canola oil
1 medium yellow onion, FINELY chopped (can use less if you're not an onion fan)
1 10-ounce package of frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
1 1/2 cup shredded 2% cheddar cheese
6 large egg whites
1 large egg
1/3 cup fat free cottage cheese
1/8 tsp. salt

Drizzle oil in nonstick skillet over medium high heat.  Add onion and saute for 5 minutes, or until translucent.  Add spinach and stir for 3 additional minutes.  Set aside.  Preheat oven to 375.  Spray pie plate with cooking spray.  Sprinkle cheese in pan and top with spinach mixture.  In a medium bowl, wisk egg whites, egg, cottage cheese and salt.  Pour egg mixture over spinach.  Bake 30-40 minutes or until set.   Let sit 5 minutes.  Cut into 8 wedges and serve warm.

Sounds wonderful.  I look forward to being able to eat something like this.  I'm only 16 days post op (RNY).  What was the name of your Bariatric cookbook?  How much egg beaters did you substitute for the 6 large egg whites and 1 large egg?
