Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the whole wheat pastry crust in a 9-inch quiche or pie dish and set aside.
Spray a non-stick skillet with olive oil spray and set over medium heat.
Cook the turkey bacon in the skillet until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet, chop into small pieces, and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and sauté for about 4 minutes until translucent.
Add the fresh spinach to the onions in the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes until the spinach has wilted. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly combined.
Stir in the low-fat shredded cheddar cheese, cooked turkey bacon, sautéed onion and spinach mixture, and cherry tomatoes.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pastry crust.
Bake the quiche in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the quiche to cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy a slice of heart-healthy goodness.
