Crustless Spinach
Quiche
From Muscle & Fitness Hers,
Sept/Oct 2010 Pg. 26
Serves 4
Ingredients:
● 1 tsp olive oil [I didn't use, see note on onion]
● 1 small onion, finely chopped [I used 1 tbsp Mrs Dash Onion & Herb instead, as Bill doesn't like the texture of onion]
● 2 garlic cloves, minced
● 1 link Italian Chicken Sausage [I used Aidells Chicken & Apple]
● 12 egg whites
● 3/4 cup shredded cheddar
● 1/2 cup frozen spinach, thawed and drained (well!)
● Kosher salt & cracked pepper to taste [I used a dash of sea-salt, and no pepper since I used Mrs Dash]
● Nonstick cooking spray
Directions:
● Heat oven to 350 degrees.
● In a large skillet, heat olive oil, onion and garlic, sautéing until lightly browned [I skipped the skillet step].
● Cut sausage into small cubes and set aside.
● In a large mixing bowl, whisk egg whites for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes.
● Add cheese, sausage, spinach, sautéed onion (if using) and garlic, and salt & pepper (or sea salt & Mrs. Dash).
● Coat a 9-inch glass pie dish with non-stick cooking spray and pour mixture into it.
● Place dish in oven and bake 40-45 minutes or until center is no longer liquid.
NOTE: Mine required a total cooking time of 70 minutes. I think my spinach probably wasn't as well drained as it could have been so I had to keep draining off "water" from the center of my quiche. However, once it was fully cooked it was truly amazing! I served it with steamed snow peas & cherry tomatoes.
