Broccoli and Cheddar Quiche
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

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.
