**Weight Watchers Quiche**
**Ingredients:**
– 1 pre-made whole wheat pie crust
– 6 large eggs
– 1 cup skim milk
– 1/2 cup reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
– 1 cup chopped spinach
– 1/4 cup diced red onion
– Salt and pepper, to taste
**Instructions:**
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish. Pierce the bottom of the crust with a fork to prevent air bubbles while baking. Bake the crust for 10 minutes, then set aside to cool slightly.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
3. Sprinkle half of the shredded cheddar cheese onto the bottom of the baked pie crust.
4. Layer the diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, and red onion on top of the cheese in the pie crust.
5. Slowly pour the egg mixture over the veggies in the pie crust. Gently shake the dish to distribute the filling evenly.
6. Top the quiche with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
7. Carefully transfer the quiche to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
8. Once cooked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
