Ingredients
- 1 pre-baked shell Whole-grain pie crust
- 4 cups Fresh spinach
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 6 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Low-fat milk (1% or skim)
- 1 cup Crumbled feta cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the pre-baked whole-grain pie crust on a baking sheet for easier handling.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the fresh spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites and low-fat milk. Stir in the black pepper and nutmeg.
Step 4
Spread the cooked spinach evenly over the bottom of the pie crust. Sprinkle the feta cheese on top of the spinach.
Step 5
Pour the egg white and milk mixture over the spinach and feta, making sure it spreads evenly. Gently place the halved cherry tomatoes on top, cut side up, as a decorative garnish.
Step 6
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is slightly golden.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for a delicious and heart-healthy meal.
