Add a salad or with fresh fruit - orange sections or fresh pineapple chunks to create a light meal. Serves 1. Ingredients 1 whole wheat tortilla, 8 to 9 inches in diameter 1 cup chopped spinach, fresh or frozen 1/2 cup whole milk cottage cheese * 1 egg * 1 tablespoon farina or flour salt and pepper to taste a few sprigs of fresh dill or 1/2 teaspoon dry dill weed Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place the tortilla in a small ovenproof dish that will hold it in the shape of a mini-pie crust. Mix the spinach, cottage cheese, egg, farina, salt, pepper and dill together. Spoon into the tortilla shell. Bake for 25 minutes. The quiche filling should be firm when done. Allow the quiche to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Nutrition information per serving (1 quiche): 350 calories 11.5 g total fat 4.8 g saturated fat 38 g carbohydrate 25 g protein 6.5 g fiber * Substitute low- or non-fat cottage cheese and 3 egg whites for 1 egg for low fat meal plan 1 Dairy 2 Grain Portions: 1 Protein 1 Vegetable 3 Extras I would trash the tortilla shell and eat it by it's self, sounded good to me!
