Ingredients
- 1 9 inch homemade or store-bought pie crust bring to room temperature
- 5 large eggs
- ¾ cup low-fat milk
- ¼ cup non fat plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
- ⅛ teaspoon salt plus 1/4 teaspoon divided
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 cups diced onions
- 1 lb raw shrimp cut into small pieces
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground pepper
- 1 cup finely chopped spinach or Swiss chard
- 4 ounces lite mozzarella cheese shredded
- Tomato slices for topping any type of tomato will work
Instructions
- Coat a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray and line with the prepared pie crust. Set aside
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- In a medium bowl whisk the eggs, milk, Greek yogurt, pepper and the remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Set aside.
- Heat oil in a medium skillet over high heat. Add onions and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions start to become transparent, about 2 minutes.
- Add the shrimp, season with ¼ tsp black pepper & ¼ tsp salt and cook on medium heat, stirring frequently. Cook until shrimp is cooked through. About 5 minutes.
- Spread the caramelized onions & shrimp mixture on the bottom of the crust. Layer spinach, the cheese and pour the egg mixture on top. Add the final layer with tomatoes.
- Bake the quiche until puffed and firm when touched in the center, 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. To serve, cut into 6 pieces.
Notes
(Nutrition information provided is an estimate and will vary based on cooking methods and brands of ingredients used.)
- Place the pan with the quiche on a baking tray prior to baking so that it's easier to place in oven and when taking it out.
- I used to Greek yogurt to increase the protein but sour cream works as well.
