Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 frozen deep-dish (defrosted) or boxed single pie crust
1 12 oz. can evaporated fat-free milk
1/3 c. low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 c. grated parmesean cheese
4 lg. eggs (or 2 lg. eggs and 3 lg. egg whites)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/2-1 tsp. onion powder
1 10 oz. frozen spinach defrosted and squeezed in a towel very dry
1 can mushrooms, optional

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Prepare pie crust. If using frozen deep-dish pie crust, defrost first.
  • 2. Whisk together evaporated milk, cottage cheese, Parmesan, eggs, onion powder, salt and pepper until well combined.
  • 3. Spread spinach evenly over bottom of pie shell. Place pie pan on foil-lined cookie sheet.
  • 4. Carefully pour egg mixture into pie shell.
  • 5. Bake for 15 minutes at 375 degrees. Cover crust with tin foil. I cut a large hole in the center of a square of foil. Lower oven temp. to 350 degrees and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until a knife inserted in center comes out clean. Cut into 8 wedges. 250 calories each.
