Ingredients for Artichoke And Smoked Gouda Crustless Quiche

  • 1 (14-ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and quartered
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Smoked Gouda Cheese
  • 1/2 cup thinly sliced shallots
  • 6 large egg whites
  • 1/4 cup egg substitute
  • 1/2 cup skim milk
  • Cayenne Pepper

How to Make Artichoke And Smoked Gouda Crustless Quiche

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Spray a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté 1/2 cup of thinly sliced shallots until translucent (about 5 minutes). Set aside.
  3. Arrange 1 (14-ounce) can of drained and quartered artichoke hearts evenly in the bottom of the prepared pie plate.
  4. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the artichoke hearts, followed by 1 cup of shredded smoked Gouda cheese.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large egg whites, 1/4 cup egg substitute, 1/2 cup skim milk, and a pinch of cayenne pepper.
  6. Gently fold in the sautéed shallots.
  7. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the artichoke and cheese layers in the pie plate.
  8. Bake for 32-34 minutes, or until the eggs are just set in the center. A slight jiggle is okay.
  9. Turn the broiler to high and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  10. Let the quiche stand for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Small additions can make a big impact! Try a sprinkle of fresh herbs, a dash of your favorite spice blend, or a squeeze of citrus just before serving to really enhance the flavors of your dish.
