Pizza Quiche: The best of both worlds in a ridiculously cheesy way ;)

image

Pizza Quiche combines my love of both pizza & quIche.  It is easy to make, low calorie, high protein, gluten free, low fat and tastes great! It also contains a LOT of cheesy goodness so what’s not to love!! Seriously if you do not love cheese this is not the recipe for you 😉

Ingredients:
1/4 cup soy flour
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (shredded or grated)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon very cold water
1 cup chopped mushrooms
1 cup diced pepper and onions
I package (7oz) shredded fat free mozzarella cheese (Kraft recommended)
1/2 cup cooked turkey sausage crumbles (I used Jimmy Dean)
16 turkey pepperoni
1/2 cup liquid egg whites
1/2 cup pizza sauce (I used Ragu traditional)
spices and seasonings (to taste)

Preheat oven to 350.

Cook peppers, onions, and mushrooms in nonstick spray in skillet over medium heat until softened & no moisture remains in pain.  Don’t forget to add a little salt and pepper to them too.  Set these aside after cooking.

Spray a square baking dish with a little nonstick spray and mix soy flour and Parmesan in bottom of pan. Whisk olive oil and water together (will turn thick & cloudy looking) then pour over flour mix. Using a fork work the oil into the flour and cheese by pressing until it seems mostly mixed.  Try to pat or smooth this evenly along bottom of pan as best as you can.  Mixture will be super sticky.  I realize it may be really annoying to spread evenly but the cheese will make an amazing crust so it’s worth the annoyance. Here is mine. It’s certainly far from perfect lol! (The cheese will melt so don’t worry if yours looks a little patchy too).  ***FYI I used shredded parm in picture below but when I tried it again later I used grated & it seemed to form a more even crust.

Mix remaining ingredients & cooked pepper, onions, mushrooms in another bowl then add as many seasonings as desired. I used a few shakes of onion and herb, garlic and herb, and Italian seasoning.

Pour this into crust.

Bake for 35-40 minutes in oven. It will feel firm on top when done. Let cool about 5 minutes before serving. Makes great leftovers too!!
