Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Whole wheat pie crust
- 4 slices Turkey bacon
- 1 medium Large onion
- 3 large Eggs
- 3 Egg whites
- 1 cup Reduced-fat milk
- 1 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Place the whole wheat pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish and set it aside.
Chop the turkey bacon into small pieces.
Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat it over medium heat.
Add the turkey bacon to the skillet and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Peel and thinly slice the onion.
In the same skillet, add the onion and cook until soft and lightly caramelized, about 8 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and reduced-fat milk.
Stir in the shredded low-fat cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, parsley, cooked turkey bacon, and onions.
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust.
Place the quiche on the middle rack of the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.
Garnish with additional parsley if desired and serve warm or at room temperature.
