Crustless Spinach, Onion and Feta Quiche (original recipe posted on sparkpeople.com)

My sister, Bethany, sent me this recipe from sparkpeople.com. Click here for the original recipe.

Honestly, my tweaks were so minor, I am essentially re-posting sparkpeople.com’s quiche recipe. (As well as their photo.) I added tomatoes, used soy milk instead of non-fat, and replaced half of the all purpose flour with whole wheat flour. (I KNOW we should only be eating whole wheat flour, but, to me, it just doesn’t taste as good. I’m sorry!)

There are 5 great things about this recipe: 1) if you slice it into 4 servings, it has less than 250 calories, 2) It’s as easy as mixing a few ingredients and throwing them in the oven. 3) you can use whatever veggies you want and love, essentially making a brand new quiche every time you bake it. 4) It tastes as good cold, the next day as it does right out of the oven. 5) It’s soooooo good! Thanks, Bethany!
