Broccoli Cheddar & Turkey Bacon Quiche (lowfat)

  • 6 oz pie crust, 9 inch, refrigerated
  • 2 tsp of olive oil
  • 1/2 cup of chopped red onion
  • 1 1/4 cup of low fat ricotta cheese
  • 1 cup of low fat or 2% shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 large egg whites
  • 1 tbsp of Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp of dried oregano
  • 2 tbsp of chopped chive
  • 10 oz of frozen chopped broccoli
  • 5 crumbled cooked turkey bacon
  • 1 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
Preheat the oven to 375. Press the pie crust into a tart pan or 9 inch pie pan, refrigerate until ready to use.
To make the filling, heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 3 minutes. Transfer the onion to a large mixing bowl and add the ricotta cheese, cheddar cheese, egg, egg whites, chopped bacon, mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper, mix well. Fold in the broccoli. Spoon mixture into prepared crust, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and chopped chives. Bake until a knife inserted near center comes out clean, about 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing.
