Recipes for the Skinny Girl Inside
Spinach Quiche
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.
