Mushroom and Broccoli Crustless Quiche

(NC)—Eliminating the pastry in quiche lowers the fat and calorie count; breadcrumbs temper the egg's sensitivity to any excess moisture from the vegetables.

Preparation Time: 15 minutes
Cooking Time: 25-30 minutes

1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
8 oz (250 g) sliced fresh Mushrooms
½ cup (125 mL) chopped onion
1 ½ cups (375 mL) small broccoli florets
1 clove garlic, minced
1 cup (250 mL) 2% milk*
3 eggs
1 cup (250 mL) shredded old cheddar or Swiss cheese
¾ cup (175 mL) soft breadcrumbs
½ tsp (2 mL) Each salt and dried basil
¼ tsp (1 mL) Each pepper and nutmeg
¼ cup (1 mL) diced red pepper (optional)
1 tbsp (15 mL) Parmesan cheese

In large skillet melt butter over medium heat; sauté mushrooms and onion for 3-4 minutes or until moisture has evaporated; add broccoli and garlic, sauté until broccoli is bright green, about 2 minutes. Spoon mushroom mixture into lightly greased 9”(22 cm) pie plate. In mixing bowl or large measuring cup whisk milk and eggs together; stir in cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, basil, pepper, and nutmeg. Pour over mushroom mixture stirring lightly to combine. Sprinkle with red pepper (if using) and Parmesan cheese. Bake in 400°F (200°C) oven for 25-30 minutes or until centre is set. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Makes 6 Servings

*Substitute evaporated milk to give a little creamier consistency

Enzymes are produced by our bodies and act on food in the small intestine, stomach or mouth. Food enzymes are found in raw foods, which come equipped with some of the enzymes needed for their own digestion. However, enzymes are heat–sensitive––so cooking and processing can destroy 100 per cent of the naturally occurring enzymes in food.
