CRUSTLESS SPINACH QUICHE (LOW FAT)
I found this on the internet, I think on a Cabot cheese site, when looking for a way to use up some leftover egg whites. I like it for breakfast or brunch with fruit salad but it could easily be a side dish for dinner.

SKINNY CRUSTLESS SPINACH QUICHE
I've made countless quiches and my biggest gripe was that though it's a wholesome dish in general, the calorie count from fat was pretty high. So, to the kitchen with a mission! Here's the product, a no-crust quiche with reduced fat and still tastes great for a skinny lunch.

Tips:
- Prep your spinach: Before you start cooking, make sure to wash and chop your spinach. You can use fresh or frozen spinach for this recipe.
- Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help prevent the quiche from sticking and make it easier to flip.
- Cook the spinach until it is wilted: You want the spinach to be soft and wilted before you add it to the quiche mixture.
- Don't overcook the eggs: The quiche is done when the eggs are just set. Overcooking the eggs will make them tough.
- Let the quiche cool slightly before serving: This will help it hold its shape when you cut it.
