I LOVE LOVE LOVE quiche so I modified a regular high carb recipe and came up with this healthy alternative. It's not recommended if you're cutting, but can definitely be part of a healthy eating plan.
1 container (16 oz.) lowfat cottage cheese
1 package of frozen chopped spinach (thawed)
3/4 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese
1/2 red pepper (optional, but adds more nutrients and color)
5 whites
2 yolks
2 T. parmesan cheese
1 T. ground flax
1 T. whole grain bread crumbs
Mix all ingredients until well blended.
Spray 9 in. pie plate with Pam, pour ingredients in.
Bake at 350 F for 45 min. or until center is set. Let cool before serving. Makes 4 - 6 servings.
This is so good, I could eat if for weeks at a time.
I've also made it with chopped broccoli in place of the spinach and it was great.
