Broccoli and Cheddar Quiche

A Weight Watchers recipe

6 oz pie crust, 9-inch, refrigerated
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 cup red oinion(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, or more to taste
10 oz frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and well-drained
1 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese

Instructions
Preheat oven to 375.

To make filling, heat oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until sof, about 3 minutes. Transfer onion to a large bolw 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 35-40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces. Yield 1 piece per serving.

I discovered that if you double the recipe, you also just about double the cook time. Is that a silly thing not to have thought about in advance?

The kids TORE THIS UP. They especially liked it with ketchup!

Serves 8
5 pts per serving
