Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch crust low-fat pie crust
- 4 slices turkey bacon
- 3 large eggs
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 cup skim milk
- 1 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 cup baby spinach leaves
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the low-fat pie crust in a 9-inch quiche or pie pan. Prick the bottom with a fork to prevent bubbling.
Bake the crust for 8 minutes to lightly pre-cook. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
Cook the turkey bacon in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels, then chop into small pieces.
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and skim milk until well combined.
Add the reduced-fat cheddar cheese, chopped turkey bacon, baby spinach, and finely sliced green onions to the egg mixture. Season with salt and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly and pour the mixture into the pre-baked pie crust.
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy your delicious low-fat bacon and egg quiche.
