Crustless Tomato-Pepper Quiche

Instead of being baked in a high-fat crust, this unusual quiche incorporates
flour into the filling.  As it bakes, the flour settles to the bottom of the pan to
form a crust-like layer.

2 teaspoons olive oil
2 medium red bell peppers, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 medium onion, minced
1 cup chopped tomato
2 whole eggs
3 egg whites
1 cup low-fat (1%) milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2/3 cup flour
1 cup bottled salsa

  1. Preheat oven to 350 F.  Spray 9-inch quiche pan (without a removable
    bottom) or 7- x 11-inch baking pan with no-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a large no-stick skillet, heat oil over low heat.  Add red and green bell
    peppers and onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables have
    softened, about five minutes.
  3. Stir in tomato and cook until almost all liquid has evaporated, about five
    minutes.  Transfer vegetables to a large mixing bowl and set aside to
    cool to room temperature.
  4. In a large bowl, beat together whole eggs and egg whites.  Stir in milk,
    Parmesan, salt and black pepper, and mix until well combined.  Whisk in
    flour.
  5. Transfer vegetables to prepared pan.  Pour egg mixture over
    vegetables and bake until eggs are just set, about 35 minutes.
  6. Cool quiche 10 minutes before cutting into six wedges.  Serve topped
    with salsa.
