Crustless Quiche

This recipe is from SparkRecipes.com, which is a great resource for healthy recipes. The addition of flour to the egg mixture produces a bit of a crust, and you can change up the ingredients to suit your tastes. I like spinach, mushrooms, bacon and onion. The original recipe omits the bacon and mushrooms. Mozzarella cheese also works well in place of the feta cheese.


1 medium onion, diced
6 oz. fresh baby spinach
2 large eggs
1/2 c. egg beaters (or 1/2 c. egg whites)
1/2 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
dash cayenne pepper
1 1/3 c. nonfat milk
1/2 c. feta cheese

Preheat oven to 400 F. Lightly grease a 10-inch quiche/tart pan on a pie plate. In a medium frying pan, cook diced onion with a little oil or cooking spray over medium-high heat until translucent and tender. Add in fresh spinach and cook just until wilted. Set aside to cool for a few minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, baking powder and salt. Whisk in milk, then stir in spinach-onion mixture. Pour quiche base into prepared pan. Top with feta cheese. Bake for 25 minutes, or until center is set and outside edge is golden brown. Let set for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.
