Ingredients 6 oz pie crust, 9-inch, refrigerated 2 tsp olive oil 1/2 cup red onion(s), chopped 1 1/4 cup part-skim ricotta cheese 1 cup 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 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground 10 oz frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and well-drained 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese Instructions 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. Notes This colorful quiche is a healthy, updated classic thanks to reduced-fat cheese. It makes the perfect brunch or light dinner (just pair with a mixed green salad). Not a broccoli fan? Substitute spinach in its place.
