Ingredients

  • 1 onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 red pepper, seeded and cut into cubes
  • 4 whole eggs
  • 2 egg whites (or substitute an additional whole egg)
  • 3/4 cup milk

Method

  • Preheat the oven to 400 F (200 C).

  • Assemble: Place the roasted vegetables in the quiche dish. Add the Gruyere and green onions. Gently pour the egg mixture over top and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 375 F (190 C) for 30-35 minutes or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
