Nothing difficult about this, that's for sure! Make the basic recipe for quiche which for a 9" pie plate is 6 eggs and 1 and 1/2 cups half and half and salt and pepper. You can substitue Egg Beaters for the eggs, just follow directions on carton for equal amounts to eggs. I totally lowered myself and bought the pie crust...I might lose sleep over this tonight! Anyway...Sprinkle about 1 and 1/2 cups Gruyere on the bottom of the unbaked pie crust. Top it with some pre-sauteed mushrooms. (I cooked mine with a little butter and added about a tablespoon of Marsala) Top those off with about 1/2 cup of chopped red peppers and then pour the egg mixture over the filling. Bake at about 400 degrees until set. Usually it takes about 30 minutes. Let cool a little and cut into 8 wedges and serve.
My other filling is cooked broccoli, sharp cheddar cheese and brown sugar bacon. You can substitute Splenda's Brown Sugar for the regular. It's not bad at all. Same sequence except for the bacon. Line a cookie sheet with foil. Place about 4 slices of thick cut bacon on the foil. Sprinkle with cinnamon and about 2 tablespoons of brown sugar. Bake at 350 degrees until halfway cooked. Turn and sprinkle with another 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and a little cinnamon. Continue to bake until almost done. Don't overcook or get too crisp. Let cool and then tear into bite size pieces. Layer just like the recipe.
A little Proseco with this on a Sunday morning is just what the doctor ordered to start your day off right! Enjoy... and then go for walk at the beach or a park to burn off those delicious calories!
