Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, whole eggs, and low-fat milk. Season with salt and black pepper.
Chop cherry tomatoes in halves and add to the egg mixture.
Add the sautéed spinach and onion mixture along with the crumbled feta cheese.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, until the center is set and edges are lightly golden.
Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing.
Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
