Crustless Quiche, new addiction

Quick and Easy Crustless Quiche
(also low carb since there is no crust)

*1/2 onion
saute until transparent
*1 c of spinach or a combination of other veggies, add to onion, saute until tender
*1/2 c of meat or faux meat, I just eyeball it
(morningstar farms veg sausage is pretty yummy in here for you vegetarians)
*Grease a pie dish and add veggies and meat then sprinkle with 1/4 c of cheese,
any kind you like, you can add more but that adds calories and fat
*4 eggs, salt and pepper to taste and 1 c of skim milk, beat with mixer until foamy
*Add 2 Tbs of flour (the secret) and beat on high for 1 minute
*Pour the mixture over the veggies and meat
*Cook on 350 for about 30 minutes, then add just a sprinkle of cheese on top
*Broil for 2-3 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned
Take it out and let if cool for a few minutes to finish "setting" then slice and enjoy. Great make ahead for busy mornings!

You can make this mexican style with peppers and onions, traditional french with ham, cheese and nutmeg or anything in between. Just keep with 4 eggs, 1 c of skim milk and the secret 2 tbs of flour. I have not used whole wheat flour, though it would probably be fine. I developed this recipe when I was looking for the perfect quiche and I make it about once a week, altering the veggies and meat each time.
