Recipe: Crustless Spinach Quiche

1 tblsp vegetable oil (I prefer EVOO)
1 onion, chopped
1 10-oz pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained, or 8 cups fresh spinach
5 eggs beaten (I used 10 to make it in a cake pan)
3 c. shredded cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper

1. Preheat oven 350 degrees.  Lightly grease 9" pie pan (or a regular rectangular size cake pan).
2. Heat oil in skillet over med-hi heat.  Add onions and cook, til onions are soft.  Stir in spinach and continue cooking til excess moisture evaporated.  (add-on veggies go in the saute pan as well, I just tossed them in w/ the onions)
3. in a large bowl, combine eggs, cheese, salt and pepper.  Add spinach mix and stir to blend.  Scoop into pie pan.
4. Bake til eggs set, abt 30 min.  Let cool 10 minutes before serving.

Makes 6 servings in pie pan, 309 cal/serving

add-on: chopped scallions, top w/ tomato slices, minced garlic, diced ham, only 2 c. cheese, fresh basil/dill, green peppers

note: greased muffin tins can be used.  2 of these = under 100 calories.  (2 pts weight watchers) if use low fat feta and egg beaters substitute.
