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 egg whites
1 egg
1 cup fat-free milk
1 tablespoon shredded fresh basil
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (1 ounce)
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.
