Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 4 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 8 ounces Button mushrooms
- 1 medium Onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Low-fat shredded cheese (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 spritz Olive oil cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spritz a 9-inch pie dish or quiche dish with olive oil cooking spray.
Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them thinly. Dice the onion and mince the garlic.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and spritz with olive oil cooking spray. Sauté the onions for 3-4 minutes until softened.
Add the garlic and sliced mushrooms to the skillet. Cook while stirring occasionally until the mushrooms are golden brown and most of the liquid has evaporated, approximately 6-8 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, low-fat milk, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Spread the mushroom mixture evenly across the prepared pie dish. If using, sprinkle the shredded low-fat cheese on top of the mushrooms.
Pour the egg mixture over the mushrooms and cheese, ensuring it's evenly distributed in the dish.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is puffed, golden, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into six equal portions. Serve warm or at room temperature.
