This vegetable has lots of nutrients such as Vitamins A, K, C and folate but few calories.   

Crustless quiche is an alternative to your typical quiche that uses pie crust. Leaving out the crust reduces carbohydrates and calories. You can add other vegetables, too, like onions, mushrooms, or spinach.   

To lower the fat, use half the cheese or cut it out completely. Quiche usually calls for heavy cream, so we are using whole milk instead.   

This recipe can be changed to your preferred ingredients and makes a wonderful addition to your Easter Brunch!
