This easy quiche is packed with protein and flavor! It reheats really well, so it’s easy to make ahead and catch a few extra minutes of sleep in the mornings. Leftovers will keep for at least 3 days if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 325°F, and coat a 9”-round cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
Lightly coat a large skillet with nonstick cooking spray, and briefly preheat over medium-low heat. Add the asparagus, and sprinkle the basil over the top of the vegetables. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, or until tender. Transfer the asparagus to the prepared baking pan.
Evenly sprinkle the feta over the asparagus. Carefully pour in the liquid egg whites. Bake at 325°F for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set. Cool in the pan for at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
IMPORTANT EGG WHITES NOTE + ALTERNATIVES – READ BEFORE BEGINNING: Remember to thoroughly shake the carton of egg whites before measuring and pouring!If you prefer to crack regular eggs instead of using liquid egg whites from a carton, you’ll need about 12 extra large egg whites or 15 large egg whites. If you'd like to use whole eggs, you'll need 10 whole large eggs or 9 whole extra large eggs. For any of these options, add them to a bowl and whisk until frothy before pouring into the pan.SEASONING NOTE: You're welcome to modify the amount of basil to suit your tastes — or even substitute other herbs and/or seasoning blends! (My family also enjoys this herbs de Provence blend.)CHEESE ALTERNATIVES: Feel free to use your favorite soft crumbled cheese instead (ie goat cheese, gorgonzola, etc)! You can also substitute freshly grated cheeses that melt well (ie mozzarella, cheddar, etc).HOW TO STORE: Store leftover quiches in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They should keep for at least three days, if not longer. If you'd like to enjoy leftover quiches warm, try reheating in the microwave for 20-30 seconds, depending on the wattage of your microwave.{gluten-free, sugar-free, clean eating, low fat, low calorie, low carb, high protein}
