Easy to make and can modify to craving or taste with different vegetables and cheeses.

Ingredients

6 oz Pie crust, (9-in), refrigerated

1/4 cup Red onion, chopped

1/4 cup Red bell pepper, chopped

1 1/4 cup Part-skim ricotta cheese

1 cup Sharp cheddar or pepperjack cheese

1 large egg

2 Large egg whites

1/2 tsp Table salt

1/4 tsp Black pepper

10 oz Frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and well-drained

Grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Press pie crust into bottom and up sides of a 9-in, removable-bottom tart pan or a 9-in pie pan; refrigerate until ready to use.

To make filling, heat oil in small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper and saute until soft, about 3 minutes. Transfer onion to a large bowl and add ricotta cheese, cheddar cheese, egg, egg whites, salt and pepper; mix well and fold in broccoli. Spoon mixture into prepared crust and level surface with a wooden spoon; sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Bake until a knife inserted near center comes out clean, about 35 to 40 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before slicing into 8 pieces.

Cook's Notes

I just kept the crust in the foil pie pan it was purchased in and place pan directly onto the oven rack. It cooked just fine. Modified for family's tastes.
