Omitting the crust makes for a low-carb, low-calorie meal. With the leeks and cheese...you won't even miss it. Plus, this meal couldn't be any easier to make!
Ingredients
  • 2 leeks, thinly sliced (white part only)
  • 2 tsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • 6 eggs
  • ½ cup part-skim cheddar cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup nonfat milk
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400F.
  2. Heat oil in a small skillet and sauté leeks until softened, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cool slightly.
  3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk eggs, milk, salt and pepper. Whisk in sautéed leeks once slightly cooled, along with the cheese.
  4. Lightly spray a 9-inch pie plate with olive oil and evenly pour in mixture.
  5. Bake, uncovered, for 40-50 minutes or until lightly browned. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
