Yield: 8 servings.
Ingredients: 3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened; 1 cup fat-free milk; 1 cup egg substitute; 1/4 teaspoon pepper; 3 cups shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese; 3 cups frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry; 1 cup frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and well drained; 1 small onion, finely chopped; 5 fresh mushrooms, sliced

"My daughter is a vegetarian, so I eliminated the ham called for in the original recipe," informs Vicki Schrupp from Little Falls, Minnesota. "Wedges of this healthy quiche make a fast and flavorful brunch, lunch or supper."

Ingredients

3 ounces reduced-fat cream cheese, softened
1 cup fat-free milk
1 cup egg substitute
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 cups shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
3 cups frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 cup frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and well drained
1 small onion, finely chopped
5 fresh mushrooms, sliced

Directions

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese. Add the milk, egg substitute and pepper; beat until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Transfer to a 10-in. quiche pan coated with cooking spray. Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean.

Great recipe! I did not add mushrooms as some of my family members are allergic. Turned out wonderful!

ok i loved this but... i didnt do this with egg substatute or any of the lowfat options i also added some chopped ham , provolone on top, and swiss with the cheddar so... it was wonderful the broccoli i used was also fresh.. so i guess i might have changed it up alot recipes are just guidelines to me..

I suspect the stuff that has to be squeezed dry is spinach. I didn't find this as good as it sounded. It took a lot longer to cook than the recipe suggested and there were lots of vegetables that crowded out the egg quiche. I'll try again with less vegetables.
