Ingredients

  • Crust
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons nonfat dry milk powder
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • Filling
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and diced (about one cup)
  • 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 cups part-skim ricotta cheese (one 15 ounce container)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 cup egg substitute or 3 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 (10 ounce) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and thoroughly wrung dry (or 1 cup fresh spinach which has been cooked, drained and chopped)
  • 1 cup grated low-fat cheese (jalapeno or plain cheddar, Jarlsberg, or the low-fat cheese of your choice)
  • Topping
  • 1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
  • paprika, to taste (optional)

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and dry milk. Mix in the butter with a fork, a pastry blender, a mixer, or your fingers, till crumbly.
  2. 2
    Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  3. 3
    Saute the onion in the butter until it's soft and becoming golden brown, about 10 minutes.
  4. 4
    In the meantime, add the ricotta, salt, egg substitute or eggs, spinach, and grated cheese to the large bowl.
  5. 5
    When the onions are almost done, stir in the thyme and nutmeg. Remove them from the heat, and add them to the large bowl.
  6. 6
    Mix everything together thoroughly, and spoon it into a greased pie pan. Spread with the sour cream. This is best done by dolloping the sour cream atop the filling, then using a spatula, or the back of a spoon, to smooth down and connect the dollops. Sprinkle with paprika, if desired.
  7. 7
    Bake the quiche for 50 to 55 minutes, or until it appears set almost all the way into the center, and has begun to brown slightly. It may crack, also; that's OK.
  8. 8
    Remove it from the oven, and cool it on a rack for at least 20 minutes, preferably 30, before serving.
