Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 375
2. Spray Pie pan or tart pan with release spray.
3. Saute garlic, scallions and mushrooms in olive oil (If using fresh spinach, throw that in as well)
4. Whisk sour cream, milk, and eggs until smooth (works best if sour cream and milk are mixed first and then eggs are added)
5. Add spinach, mushrooms, garlic, and feta cheese to the egg mixture along with the flour and baking powder, and stir briefly
6. Pour into prepared pan
7. Sprinkle parm evenly over the top
8. Bake at 375 for 25-30 mins - quiche is done when knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Serves 6-8 (calorie info calculated for 8 servings)

To reduce the calories/fat even more:
- use reduced fat feta cheese
- Don't use parm at all
- Don't use a pie crust, just spray the pie dish with a nonstick cooking spray or add the flour/baking powder mixture for a self crust..

Enjoy!

*****Update*****

Made this recipe again last night and I made some slight changes/improvements that others might enjoy:

-Pre-baked the crust for ~7-10 mins at 375
-As suggested by some I added a little salt/pepper to egg mixture
-Sauteed scallions with the mushrooms
-Added ~1 c. of imitation crab/lobster meat chopped into relatively small pieces

These alterations did a lot to improve the texture of the crust and overall flavor of the quiche only increased the calories by 15-20 cals / slice
