Canadian Bacon Quiche
- vegetable oil cooking spray
- 6 slices bread, your choice
- 1 cup diced Canadian bacon or 1 cup lean ham
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 1/2 cup egg substitute (or 2 more eggs)
- 2 whole eggs
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Preheat oven to 350u0b0F.
- Spray a 9-inch pie dish with vegetable oil spray.
- With a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread on a cutting board or flat surface.
- Cut 5 slices in half vertically (from top crust to bottom crust).
- Cut a 3-inch circle from the remaining slice with a round cookie cutter or a knife (this will go in the center of the crust).
- Place slices of bread in the bottom of the pie dish, slightly overlapping each piece to form a crust, gently pressing in the bottom and partially up the side of the pie dish.
- Place the reserved bread circle in the center and gently press down into the other slices of bread.
- Bake for 10 minutes, or until bread is toasted and golden brown. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack.
- Scatter Canadian bacon evenly in the bottom of the crust. Top evenly with red bell pepper and green onions.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg substitute, eggs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper, until blended.
- Carefully pour egg mixture over the meat and vegetable filling and place the pie dish on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until center is set. Remove from oven and let mixture rest 5 minutes before cutting into wedges.
