Cauliflower No-Crust Quiche

 

 

I know what you are thinking....another cauliflower recipe??!!  Well, the good news is that broccoli or mushrooms could be substituted for the cauliflower in this recipe by Tracee Yablon Brenner, RD.  Quiches can be loaded with extra calories from eggs, milk and cheese, not to mention the crust. But this quiche does away with the crust while maintaining the flavor.

 

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
½ cup, chopped onions
1 ½ cups chopped cauliflower or broccoli
½ cup shredded low-fat Cheddar cheese
5 large eggs
½ cup low-fat milk, rice or soy milk
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon salt

 

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F
2. Lightly grease an 8 x 8 casserole dish or 8-9 inch pie pan with olive oil or butter.
3. Spread onions evenly in the dish and place in the oven while you prepare the other ingredients.
4. In a small bowl, beat eggs, salt and milk with a whisk. Remove dish from over with mitts and spread cauliflower and cheese evenly. Pour egg mixture over cauliflower, onions and cheese.
5. Sprinkle with paprika.
6. Bake for 30 minutes, until cauliflower is cooked and casserole is golden brown.

Cooking Tip

Quiche can be refrigerated in a sealed container for 2-3 days.
