Artichoke & Feta Quiche

Making crepes last week got me in the mood for breakfast so I chose a flavorful quiche recipe. It is also from the Cook This, Not That!, book.

INGREDIENTS:
3 extra large eggs
1 cup 2% milk
7 oz. artichoke hearts, drained and roughly chopped
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
2 Tbsp chopped sun-dried tomatoes
2 links cooked turkey or chicken sausage
3/4 tsp kosher salt
Cracked pepper to taste
1 frozen pie crust

HOW TO MAKE IT:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk the eggs until frothy, then add the rest of the ingredients and pour into the pie crust.
Bake the quiche for 45 minutes or until the eggs are completely set (a toothpick will come out clean) and the top is a light golden brown.
Let set for 5 minutes before serve... but then serve and EAT UP!

I was so impressed with this recipe and it was so good!! The flavors compliment each other so well. The feta cheese sorta dissolves thru the whole dish so there is a light feta zest with each bite... so if you LOVE feta cheese like I do then you are extremely pleased. It needs the full cooking time so don't try and rush it. But seriously make this dish- low in calories (makes six servings- approximately 250 calories a piece!) , pretty good for you, and doesn't taste like it should be! :)

Keep on cookin' cupcakes

  1. Okay, I am not a big fan of artichokes, but this thing was dang good. The part where she said: "The flavors compliment each other so well." is spot on! Good job babe. You rule!
