SPINACH TOMATO QUICHE (CRUSTLESS)

Easy quiche for anytime. I especially like it for dinner with nothing more than fresh fruit on the side. I often make it with only egg whites and fat-free cottage cheese to lighten it up.

SPINACH & TOMATO CRUSTLESS QUICHE

This recipe is slightly altered from Holly Clegg's "Meals on the Move", so it's meant to be fast and healthy. I only changed the garlic and basil, since I've learned to appreciate fresh ingredients. This is tasty and she says it serves 6. Maybe so, but unless it's an appetizer, I say 4 for a light lunch with some fruit on the side. Looks low carb to me, too.

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium onion, chopped
1 -2 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon dried basil (I use 1 T fresh chopped)
1 (12 ounce) container 2% fat cottage cheese
1 large egg
2 large egg whites
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained very well
1 cup shredded monterey jack cheese
4 roma tomatoes, sliced

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Coat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Over medium-high heat, saute' the onion, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes.
  • In a food processor or blender, puree the cottage cheese with the egg and the egg whites.
  • Add to the onion mixture.
  • Mix in the spinach and cheese.
  • Spoon into a lightly oiled 9-inch pie plate.
  • Smooth the top and bake, uncovered, for 25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven and arrange the tomatoes in an overlapping circle on the top of the quiche.
  • Bake, uncovered, for 20 minutes more or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, ensure all your ingredients are prepped, measured, and ready to go. Grating the Parmesan cheese and chopping the vegetables beforehand will save time and ensure a smooth cooking process.
  • Use Fresh, Quality Ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the quiche will turn out. Choose ripe tomatoes, tender spinach, and high-quality cheese for the best results.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When placing the vegetables in the pan, ensure they are evenly distributed and not overcrowded. This will allow them to cook evenly and prevent the quiche from becoming soggy.
  • Use a Medium-Low Heat: Cooking the quiche over medium-low heat helps prevent the bottom from browning too quickly while ensuring the inside cooks evenly.
  • Check for Doneness: To check if the quiche is done, insert a toothpick or a sharp knife into the center. If it comes out clean, the quiche is ready. Alternatively, you can check the internal temperature, which should be around 165°F (74°C).
  • Allow Cooling Time: After baking, allow the quiche to cool for at least 15-20 minutes before serving. This will help it set properly and make it easier to slice.
