- 1.
- Slice the onions into very thin rounds.
- Put 3-4 tbsp extra virgin extra virgin olive oil in a heavy skillet and bring to medium high heat.
- Saute/fry the onion rings till just starting to turn golden brown.
- Remove from skillet and set aside.
- 2.
- Remove the seeds and ribs from the peppers and slice into julienne strips.
- Break the florets of cawliflower into bite size pcs.
- Thinly slice the mushrooms and make matchstick slices of the zucchini.
- Place all the sliced veggies into the skillet and saute/fry till just starting to turn limp-about 4 min or possibly so.
- Remove from the skillet and drain well.
- 3.
- Mix together the Large eggs, flour, lowfat milk, salt and pepper and whip with a wisk till very frothy.
- 4.
- Use a deep quiche dish or possibly a 10" deep dish pie plate.
- Spray well with an extra virgin olive oil cooking spray.
- Wash the basil and spinach and pat dry with a paper towel.
- Line the cooking dish with the basil and spinach so which the points of the leaves overlap the edge of the dish by about 1/2".
- Spray lightly again so which the leaves stay together.
- Gently pour about the 1/4 of the egg mix over the leaves.
- Place about 1/4 of the veggies into the cooking dish, making sure they are spread around.
- Sprinkle a handful of the parmesan cheese over all.
- Repeat the Large eggs, veggies and cheese till the dish is filled and you have ended with cheese.
- Bake at 350 degrees till done-about 25-30 min.
- The Large eggs will really puff up, the tips of the spinach and basil will turn a little brown and the cheese forms a nice crusty top on the quiche.
- During the summer when our vegetable garden is at its peak, I substitute other veggies such as eggplant and warm peppers and green beans and leeks for the onions.
