Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 150 grams whole wheat pastry flour
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 3 tablespoons cold water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 units large eggs
- 2 units egg whites
- 250 milliliters skim milk
- 100 grams reduced-fat cheddar cheese, grated
- 100 grams baby spinach, chopped
- 100 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
- 2 tablespoons basil leaves, chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a medium bowl, combine whole wheat pastry flour and salt. Add olive oil and cold water. Mix until a dough forms.
Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface until it fits a 9-inch pie plate. Transfer the dough to the pie plate, pressing it into the bottom and sides.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, and skim milk until well combined.
Stir in the grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese, chopped baby spinach, halved cherry tomatoes, and chopped basil leaves into the egg mixture. Season with black pepper.
Pour the egg mixture over the prepared crust in the pie plate evenly.
Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing.
Cut into slices and serve warm or at room temperature.
