Artichoke Mushroom Crustless Quiche
As much as we love pie, quiche and galettes, the majority of calories in those recipes is actually from delicious crust. Swapping to frittatas and no-crust quiche, like this Artichoke Mushroom Crustless Quiche by Lake Austin Spa, is the answer. Just as delicious. Serve it with a piece of while grain toast, the perfect vehicle for this eggy casserole, if you’re missing that baked crust associated with quiche.
Ingredients
- 1 can Artichoke Hearts - 14 oz, packed in water
- 8 oz Mushrooms - fresh, sliced
- ½ Yellow Bell Pepper - diced
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese - shredded
- 3 whole eggs
- 1 whole egg white
- 1 cup skim milk
- ⅓ teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried basil - or a few torn fresh basil leaves
- Paprika - to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly spray a traditional quiche dish (or glass pie dish) with cooking spray and set aside.
- Drain artichokes (reserving a bit of the liquid), chop and squeeze them until barely moist. Arrange the chopped hearts in the bottom of the quiche dish (which has been sprayed or oiled).
- Saute mushrooms and bell pepper in a dry pan using the reserved artichoke liquid, until soft. Add to the quiche dish with the artichokes. Cover the vegetables with the shredded cheese.
- In a separate bowl, beat eggs and the egg white together. Add milk, pepper, and basil. Pour this eggy custard base over the vegetables and cheese. Dust with paprika.
- Bake for 40 minutes, until edges are browned and can be seen pulling away slightly.
