    Squash, Bacon, and Mozzarella Quiche

    Ingredients:

    For the Crust:

    6.75 ounces all-purpose flour (about 1 1/2 cups)

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    3 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into small

    pieces

    2 tablespoons vegetable shortening, cut into small

    pieces

    1/4 cup ice water

    Cooking spray

    For the Filling:

    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

    2 cups (1/8-inch-thick) slices yellow squash

    2 cups (1/8-inch-thick) slices zucchini

    1/4 cup chopped shallots

    1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme

    1 cup 2% reduced-fat milk

    3/4 teaspoon salt

    1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

    4 slices centre-cut bacon, cooked and crumbled

    3 large egg whites

    3 large eggs

    3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

    How to Make It:

    To prepare crust, weigh or lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife.

    Combine flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor, and pulse 2 times or until

    combined. Add butter and shortening; pulse 4 times or until mixture resembles coarse

    meal. With food processor on, add ice water through food chute, processing just until the

    mixture is combined (do not form a ball). Press mixture into a 4-inch circle on plastic

    wrap, and cover. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

    Preheat oven to 400°.

    Slightly overlap 2 sheets of plastic wrap on a slightly damp flat surface. Unwrap and

    place chilled dough on plastic wrap. Cover dough with 2 additional sheets of overlapping

    plastic wrap. Roll dough, still covered, into a 12-inch circle. Place dough in

    freezer 5 minutes or until plastic wrap can easily be removed. Remove top sheets of

    plastic wrap, and fit dough, plastic wrap side up, into a 9 1/2-inch deep-dish pie plate

    coated with cooking spray. Remove remaining plastic wrap from dough. Fold edges

    under, and flute. Pierce bottom and sides of dough with fork. Bake at 400° for 15 minutes.

    Cool on a wire rack.

    Reduce oven temperature to 350°.

    To prepare the filling, heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to

    pan; swirl to coat. Add squash, zucchini, shallots, and thyme; sauté for 5 minutes or until

    squash and zucchini are tender, stirring frequently. Cool the squash mixture slightly.

    Combine 1 cup reduced-fat milk and the next 5 ingredients (through eggs) in a large

    bowl, stirring with a whisk. Arrange squash mixture evenly over crust, and sprinkle with

    3/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Pour the egg mixture over cheese. Bake at 350° for 45

    minutes or until filling is set. Cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack. ENJOY! 😋

    Spinach Mushroom And Feta Crustless Quiche

    Ingredients:

    8 oz button mushrooms

    1 clove garlic, minced

    10 oz box frozen spinach, thawed

    4 large eggs

    1 cup milk

    2 oz feta cheese

    1/4 cup Parmesan, grated

    1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

    Salt and pepper to taste

    How to Make It:

    Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Squeeze the excess moisture from the thawed spinach.

    Rinse any dirt or debris from the mushrooms, then slice thinly. Mince the garlic.

    Add the mushrooms, garlic, and a pinch of salt and pepper to a non-skillet spritzed lightly

    with non-stick spray (or a splash of cooking oil). Sauté the mushrooms and garlic until

    the mushrooms are soft and all their moisture has evaporated away (5-7 minutes).

    Coat a 9-inch pie dish with non-stick spray. Place the squeeze-dried spinach in the

    bottom of the pie dish. Place the sautéed mushrooms on top of the spinach, followed by

    the crumbled feta.

    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and Parmesan. Season lightly with

    pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and feta in the pie dish. Top with the

    shredded mozzarella.

    Place the pie dish on a baking sheet for easy transfer in and out of the oven. Bake the

    crustless quiche for 45-55 minutes, or until the top is golden brown (ovens may vary).

    Cut into six slices and serve. ENJOY! 😋

    Tomato & Feta Quiche with Spaghetti Squash Crust

    Ingredients:

    For the Crust:

    1 medium spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise, seeds removed

    1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

    ¼ teaspoon salt

    ¼ teaspoon pepper

    1 large egg, lightly beaten

    2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

    For the Filling:

    2 large Roma tomatoes, chopped

    ⅔ cup crumbled feta cheese

    4 large eggs

    1 tablespoon sour cream

    1 cup low-fat milk

    ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley

    2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme

    ¼ teaspoon salt

    ⅛ teaspoon ground pepper

    How to Make It:

    To prepare crust: Preheat oven to 400°F. Brush the cut side of each squash half with oil

    and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper. Place the squash halves, cut-

    side down, on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until tender, 40 to 50 minutes.

    (Alternatively, place the squash halves, cut-side down, in a microwave-safe dish; add 2

    tablespoons water. Microwave, uncovered, on High until the flesh is tender, about 10

    minutes.) When cool enough to handle, scrape the flesh from each squash half. (You

    should have about 4 cups squash.)

    Wrap the squash in a tea towel or cheesecloth and squeeze to remove as much liquid

    as possible. Coat a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan with cooking spray. Stir the squash, 1 egg

    and Parmesan together in a medium bowl. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and

    press it evenly into the bottom and up the sides of the pan. Bake until the crust is set and

    beginning to brown around the edges, about 25 minutes.

    To prepare filling and bake quiche: Evenly scatter tomatoes and feta over the crust.

    Whisk together eggs and sour cream until smooth. Whisk in milk, parsley, thyme, salt

    and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the other filling ingredients. Reduce oven
