Low Fat, High Protein Quiche


Ok, the fact that I'm tapping this post into my keyboard attests to the fact that I am, in fact, real. And since I get visual confirmation whenever I bathe (at least daily), I can also say with confidence that I am, indeed, a man.

So we can dispense with the silly cliche's right off the bat. Not only do real men eat quiche, they can make them too. It really couldn't be much more simple to prepare a versatile, healthful meal that can work for any meal or snack.

Here's how:

Get a couple of those frozen pie crusts from the supermarket, some nonfat milk, a dozen eggs and frozen mixed veggies. Preheat the oven to 375. Crack six eggs, tossing out four of the yolks and drop each into a bowl and mix with about a cup of milk. Meanwhile, defrost about a cup of the veggies in the microwave. Dump the defrosted veggies in the pie crust and then pour in the egg mixture until it's just below the ridge of the crust. Bake the whole thing for about 45 minutes, and then grate a little cheddar cheese on the top and put it back in the oven for five or 10 minutes (pie crust should be lightly browned and the egg mixture should be firm).

Take it out and give it a few minutes to cool, then enjoy!

Another tasty variation is frozen chopped spinach, sliced mushrooms and julienne cut sun dried tomatoes.

Good stuff.
