Who says real men don't eat quiche? It's really just an omelet in a pie crust. Make it for the whole family.

Ingredients

• 6 oz pie crust, 9-inch, refrigerated
• 2 tsp olive oil
• 1/2 cup(s) (sliced) uncooked red onion(s), chopped
• 1 1/4 cup(s) part-skim ricotta cheese
• 1 cup(s) low-fat, shredded Cheddar cheese
• 1 large egg(s)
• 2 large egg white(s)
• 1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp table salt, or more to taste
• 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground, or more to taste
• 10 oz frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and well-drained
• 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Press pie crust into bottom and up sides of a 9-inch, removable-bottom tart pan or a 9-inch pie pan; refrigerate until ready to use.


To make filling, heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, about 3 minutes. Transfer onion to a large bowl and add ricotta cheese, cheddar cheese, egg, egg whites, mustard, oregano, salt and pepper; mix well and fold in broccoli. Spoon mixture into prepared crust and level surface with a wooden spoon; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.


Bake until a knife inserted near center comes out clean, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces. Yields 1 piece per serving.

Notes
Not a broccoli fan? Substitute spinach in its place.
