¾ cup egg beaters
1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ cup fat-free cheddar cheese shredded
1 ½ cup fat-free mozzarella cheese shredded
1-8 ounce can green chilies, chopped
½ cup chunky salsa, medium
salt and pepper
non-fat cooking spray

1. Spray an 8- or 9-inch glass pan with non-fat spray.

2. In a bowl combine egg beaters, milk, and flour. Beat well until smooth.

3. Combine cheeses and green chilies into milk mixture.

4. Spoon a small amount of drained salsa on bottom of pie pan and spread around. This will help keep quiche from sticking.

6. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, until set and puffy.

Serve with salsa and fat-free sour cream if desired.

Yield: 6 servings
