Crustless Basque Quiche
With tons of taste but little fat, this light and luscious quiche is the
perfect choice for breakfast, brunch or lunch. Serve with fresh fruit salad.
3 Tbsp bread crumbs
1 tsp canola oil
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
2 medium Roma tomatoes, juiced and chopped (about 3/4 cup)
6 oz ham, OR Canadian bacon, chopped (about 1 1/4 cups)
1/2 cup roasted red pepper, chopped, from a jar, patted dry
1 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp cayenne
1 cup nonfat half and half
1 cup egg substitute
1 cup mozzarella cheese, reduced fat, shredded
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a 9 inch glass pie pan with
non-stick spray. Dust the bottom and sides of the pan with the
breadcrumbs and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the
onion; saute 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and saute until beginning to
soften, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the ham
and bell pepper. Spoon into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Place the cornstarch, salt and cayenne in a medium bowl; slowly whisk in
the half and half to blend. Whisk in the egg substitute and pour the
mixture into the pan. Top with the mozzarella.
Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until puffed and set. Let the quiche rest for
5 minutes before serving. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top, if desired.
Cut in wedges and serve.
