What’s Cooking? Crustless Asparagus Quiche, Easy, Low Fat, Low Calories, Gluten Free! Delaware Beaches, Southern Delaware, Good Morning Delmarva!
I have to pinch myself….another gorgeous day at the Delaware Beaches!! We are on a roll.
I am not a breakfast person but I do have to agree that quiches are very versatile and easy to assemble. They can be eaten for breakfast, lunch or dinner. And, is a brunch favorite.
This Crustless Asparagus Quiche is so easy, low in fat, calories and gluten free! Guilt free eating at this time of bathing suit season! You can substitute seasonal veggies, but at this time asparagus are fantastic, so why not?
Guests at the beach? This could be a winner.
CRUSTLESS ASPARAGUS QUICHE
2 cups asparagus ends trimmed and chopped
1 can evaporated low fat or skimmed milk (I used low fat.)
3 large eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (I used gluten free flour.)
1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups reduced fat shredded mild or sharp Cheddar cheese (I even used less than that, but make it your own.)
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees.
You can spray your pie pan with cooking spray, but since I am making it gluten free, I just lightly buttered the pan.
Blanch asparagus by placing in a pot of boiling water for about 3 minutes. Remove from the water and set aside.
After beating the eggs, whisk evaporated milk, flour, salt and pepper into the eggs in a medium bowl until blended.
Stir in asparagus, cheese (save about 2 tablespoons) and bell pepper into prepared pan. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons of cheese.
Bake about 25 to 30 minutes until knife inserted near center comes out clean and top is lightly brown.
Run knife around inside of edge, then, turn over on a plate.
Cut and enjoy with your favorite side dish, depending at what time of the day you are serving it. Enjoy!
