Spinach Cheddar Quiche
Ingredients:
6 eggs (2 Lean)
10 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained or 1 1/2 cups cooked spinach (3 Greens)
1 cup unsweetened almond or cashew milk (1 Condiment)
1 cup 2% sharp cheddar shredded cheese (1 Lean)
1/4 tsp salt (1 Condiment)
1/4 tsp pepper (1/2 Condiment)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (1/2 Condiment)
1/4 tsp onion powder (1/2 Condiment)
1/4 tsp pepper (1/2 Condiment)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (1/2 Condiment)
1/4 tsp onion powder (1/2 Condiment)
1/4 cup reduced fat feta cheese ** (2 Condiments)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a small skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Add spinach and cook for about 5 minutes or until excess moisture is removed. Remove from heat and let cool. In a bowl, whisk eggs, and unsweetened almond or cashew milk together. Stir in cheddar cheese and cooked spinach. Add salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and feta cheese.
Grease a 9 inch pie dish. Add egg mixture. Bake for 45 minutes or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove and let cool in pie dish for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
3 Servings (1/3 of quiche) with
1 Lean, 1 Green (still need 2 more per serving), and 2 Condiments per serving
** If you can't find reduced fat feta, use 1/4 cup regular feta as 4 Condiments. Or try 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese which is also 4 Condiments. This would give you 2.5 Condiments per serving instead of 2 Condiments per serving.
