List of Ingredients




1 small zucchini, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced
� 1/2 cup chopped red onion
� 1/2 cup chopped red or green sweet pepper
� 2 cloves garlic, minced
� 2 teaspoons olive oil or cooking oil
� 6 large egg whites
� 1 large egg
� 1 cup fat-free milk
� 1 tablespoon shredded fresh basil
� 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (1 ounce)
� 1/2 cup chopped tomato (optional)


Recipe



1. In a medium skillet cook zucchini, onion, sweet pepper, and garlic in hot oil until onion is tender. Set aside.

2. In a medium bowl stir together the egg whites, egg, milk, and basil. Stir in zucchini mixture. Pour into 4 individual quiche dishes or shallow casseroles, about 4-1/2 inches in diameter.

3. Bake in a 350 degree F. oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until set. Sprinkle each serving with mozzarella cheese. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving. If desired, sprinkle with chopped tomato. Makes 4 servings.

Garlic Storage Tip: Keep garlic on hand for adding a boost of flavor to many recipes--without adding fat or calories. Store fresh garlic in a cool, dry, dark place. Leave the bulb whole, as individual cloves dry out quickly. Minced garlic is available in easy-to-use jars and will keep in the refrigerator for up to 6 months.
