Ingredients:

  • 1 scallion
  • 1 green pepper
  • 2 slices Canadian bacon
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
  • 3/4 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 eggs (or equivalent amount of egg substitute)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that your quiche bakes evenly to golden perfection.

  2. Prepare Pie Pan: Coat a pie pan generously with cooking spray, ensuring that the quiche doesn’t stick to the pan during baking.

  3. Sauté Ingredients: Heat a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat and coat it with cooking spray. Sauté the scallions, bell pepper, and Canadian bacon for approximately 3 minutes or until they are softened and fragrant.

  4. Layer Ingredients: Spoon the sautéed mixture into the prepared pie pan, spreading it evenly across the bottom. Top it off with a generous layer of reduced-fat cheddar cheese, adding a delightful cheesy goodness to your quiche.

  5. Prepare Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the fat-free evaporated milk, eggs (or egg substitute), Dijon mustard, and ground nutmeg. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well incorporated, creating a creamy and flavorful egg mixture.

  6. Pour Mixture: Pour the prepared egg mixture over the layered ingredients in the pie pan, ensuring that it evenly covers the entire surface.

  7. Sprinkle Parmesan: Sprinkle the top of the quiche with a tablespoon of grated parmesan cheese, adding a final touch of savory goodness.

  8. Bake: Place the pie pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 35 minutes, or until the quiche is golden brown and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.

  9. Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before slicing into it. Serve warm and enjoy the delightful flavors of this Western Quiche!
