Crustless Quiche Recipe

Broccoli, Carrot, and Spinach crutless quiche.
I have spent years...ok maybe just 3 or 4 attempts...at perfecting this deliciously decadent crustless quiche recipe given to me by my mom and I must say that I think I have created something of a tasterpiece!!!

Feel free to substitute the veggies as you see fit but keep the base ingredients as this is what gives it its decadence and makes it less of a diet meal and more of a treat for both you and your hips.

Serves: 4
Calories: 254 per serving 
 
Ingredients:
2 x Large free range eggs
1 x cup fat free or skim milk
2 x TBSP plain flour
1 x cup grated cheddar cheese (I always use a reduced fat version)
1 x cup chopped broccoli
1 x large onion (finely chopped)
1 x leek (finely chopped)
1 x cup grated carrots
1 x cup baby spinach (chopped)
3 x cloves garlic (finely chopped)

Directions:
1) Preheat oven to 180 degrees
2) In a little olive oil, fry the onions, leeks, and garlic until slightly soft
3) Add carrots and spinach and fry for another minute or two
4) Add the broccoli, mix well, and fry for a further minute or two (I leave the broccoli till last so that there is still a slight bit of texture in the finished product)
5) Season with salt and black pepper to taste
6) Mix all ingredients in a large bowl (including milk, eggs, cheese, flour)
7) Season the mixture again to taste
8) Transfer mixture to a baking dish or quiche dish and bake in the oven for 35 - 45 minutes until golden brown on top (a fork should come out clean)
