Time 1h55m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ½ pounds spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup thawed and drained frozen chopped spinach
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon dried oregano
3 eggs
1 cup skim milk
cooking spray
⅓ cup bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place squash on a baking sheet, cut-side down.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the outer shell of squash is tender, about 45 minutes. Scoop fibers and seeds out of squash and discard. Shred the tender squash meat with a fork; measure 3 cups and place in a bowl.
  • Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat; saute onion and garlic until onion is transparent, 5 to 10 minutes. Add spinach, black pepper, and oregano; cook and stir until heated through, about 3 minutes. Add spinach mixture to squash.
  • Whisk eggs together in a bowl; add milk and whisk until frothy. Pour egg mixture over squash mixture; mix well.
  • Spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
  • Sprinkle bread crumbs into prepared pie pan. Pour squash-egg mixture over bread crumbs.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a knife inserted into the center of the quiche comes out clean, about 45 minutes.

This quiche was a little too bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better with more cheese or maybe some diced vegetables.

This quiche was easy to make and turned out great. I used a pre-made pie crust to save time, and it still came out delicious. The filling was creamy and flavorful, and the spaghetti squash added a nice texture.

I'm not a big fan of spaghetti squash, but this quiche changed my mind. The squash was cooked perfectly and the quiche was so flavorful. I especially loved the sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts.

This spaghetti squash quiche was a hit! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the texture was amazing. I loved the crispy crust and the gooey center. I will definitely be making this again.
