Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8 Sheets Phyllo Dough
  • 1 Pound Fresh Spinach Washed and Chopped
  • 1 Small Onion Finely Chopped
  • 2 Cloves Garlic Minced
  • 1.5 Cups Fat Free Feta Cheese Crumbled (I use Athenos)
  • 1/4 Cup Reduced Fat Grated Parmesan Cheese
  • 1/4 Cup Lowfat Ricotta Cheese
  • 2 Large Eggs, Beaten
  • 1/4 Tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • Salt/Pepper to taste
  • Olive Oil Cooking Spray

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Spray a a large skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they become translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the feta cheese, Parmesan cheese, low-fat ricotta cheese, beaten eggs, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  • Add the cooked spinach mixture to the cheese and egg mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
  • Lay one sheet of phyllo dough on a clean, dry surface. Lightly coat it with cooking spray. Place another sheet of phyllo dough on top and repeat until you have four sheets stacked on each other, with a coating of cooking spray between each layer. Repeat this process to create another stack of four sheets.
  • Carefully place one stack of phyllo sheets into a pie dish, allowing the edges to hang over the sides. Add the spinach and cheese filling evenly over the phyllo sheets in the pie dish.
  • Place the second stack of phyllo sheets on top of the filling, again allowing the edges to hang over the sides. Fold the overhanging phyllo dough sheets inwards to create a border around the pie. Lightly coat the top of the pie with cooking spray
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 30 minutes or until the phyllo dough is golden brown and the filling is set.
  • Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
  • Cut this spinach and feta quiche into 4 big slices. Each slice is only 4 Points on Weight Watchers. This is perfect for breakfast, a light meal or as a side dish. Enjoy!
