Skinny Spinach And Cheese Quiche Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare Baked Oil Pastry. Reduce oven temperature to 350° F. Shred Gruyere cheese; you should have 3/4 cup. Set aside 2 tablespoons of the cheese.
• In a large bowl, beat together remaining cheese, the egg, spinach, half-and-half, thyme, salt, and pepper. Pour egg mixture into Baked Oil Pastry.
• Bake for 40 minutes. Sprinkle with the reserved 2 tablespoons cheese. If necessary to prevent over-browning, cover edge of quiche with foil. Bake about 10 minutes more or until a knife inserted near center comes out clean. Let stand on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
• Baked Oil Pastry: Preheat oven to 450° F. In a medium bowl, stir together 1-1/3 cups Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add 1/3 cup cooking oil and 3 tablespoons fat-free milk all at once. Stir lightly with a fork. If necessary, stir in 1 tablespoon additional milk to moisten. Form into a ball. On a well-floured surface, slightly flatten dough. Roll from center to edge into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. To transfer pastry, wrap it around the rolling pin; unroll pastry into a 9-inch pie plate. Ease pastry into pie plate, being careful not to stretch it. Trim pastry to 1/2 inch beyond edge of pie plate; fold under edge and flute as desired. Line pastry with a double thickness of foil. Bake for 8 minutes. Remove foil. Bake for 5 minutes more. Cool on a wire rack while preparing filling.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Saute mushrooms, onion, and garlic in the hot pan until onion is tender, about 7 minutes. Add spinach to the onion mixture and cook over low heat until spinach is limp and most of the water has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Place egg whites into a bowl and add milk; whisk together. Add 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese and feta cheese. Stir in spinach mixture until thoroughly mixed. Season with salt and pepper. Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle remaining Cheddar cheese over quiche. Return to the oven and continue to bake until center is set, about 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a 10-inch pie plate.
• Press spinach in an even, compact layer into the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
• Beat milk, ham, eggs, baking mix, onion, Cheddar cheese, and Monterey Jack cheese together in a bowl; pour over the spinach layer.
• Bake in preheated oven until quiche is set in the middle, 35 to 40 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Cut a 9-inch circle of parchment paper.
• Place pastry crust in a 9-inch quiche or pie pan, gently shaping and stretching to fit. Prick crust with a fork several times and place parchment circle over top. Add pie weights or dried beans on top of parchment paper.
• Set the pan on a baking sheet and place in the center of the preheated oven. Reduce heat to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) and bake about 10 minutes. Remove to a wire rack and cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully remove pie weights or beans and parchment paper. Leave oven on.
• While the crust is cooling, squeeze thawed spinach between several layers of paper towels, to remove most of the moisture. Set aside.
• Add thawed potatoes to the cooled crust. Sprinkle 1 cup shredded Gruyere cheese on top.
• Stir beaten eggs, cream, bagel seasoning, and hot pepper sauce in a large bowl until ingredients are fully incorporated. Stir in spinach, breaking up any clumps. Pour mixture over the cheese and potatoes. Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup Gruyere on top.
• Place in the center of the oven and bake until eggs are set and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 10 minutes. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add spinach, bell peppers and leeks; cook 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender. Remove from heat.
• In baking dish, layer ham, spinach mixture, 1 cup of the Cheddar cheese and the bread. In large bowl, beat eggs, milk, mustard and pepper with wire whisk until blended; pour over bread. Sprinkle with remaining Cheddar cheese and the Italian cheese blend. Cover with foil; refrigerate at least 4 hours but no longer than 24 hours.
• Heat oven to 325°F. Bake loosely covered 40 minutes. Uncover; bake about 30 minutes longer or until top is golden brown and knife inserted in center comes out clean.
