The "Healthy Quiche" can happen!

Here it is everybody! You all know about my "healthy quiche" story. Well guess what? After much experimentation, the "Healthy Quiche" is alive...enjoy!



Pepperoni Spinach Quiche
Points Value: 5
Servings: 6

Ingredients:
8 reduced fat crescent roll (one can)
1 large red bell pepper, diced
1 clove garlic
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 1/4 cup egg substitute
1/2 cup part skim mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup chopped frozen spinach-squeezed of liquid
14 slices pepperoni, sliced into strips
1/4 cup fat-free half and half
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp dried or fresh minced parsley
1 tbsp dried or fresh minced basil


seperate crescent dough into eight triangles and place in a 9" round ungreased baking pan. Arrange with the points toward the center. Press dough up and onto sides and seal seams to form a crust. Set aside.

In a small skillet, saute red peppers and garlic in oil until tender. Set aside to cool slightly.

In a medium bowl, combine all other ingredients. Combine and then add the bell pepper when cooled. Pour into crust.

Bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes or until a knife comes out clean when inserted into the center. Let stand five minutes before cutting.
