Crustless Spinach Quiche
Serves 4
Ingredients:
extra-virgin olive oil, for greasing and drizzling4 ounces smoked gouda cheese, cut into 4 pieces
1 (10-ounce) package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
2 large eggs plus 2 egg whites
1 (15-ounce) container part-skim ricotta cheese
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
6 to 8 scallions, chopped
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon paprika
2 heads endive, sliced lengthwise
2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
Position a rack in the upper third of the oven, place a baking sheet on the rack and preheat to 450 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9-inch round or 8-inch square baking dish with olive oil.
Pulse the gouda in a food processor until finely chopped. Add the spinach, whole eggs and egg whites, ricotta, flour and nutmeg and process until well combined, about 30 seconds. Add the scallions and pulse to mix.
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and sprinkle with the parmesan and paprika. Place the quiche on the preheated baking sheet and bake until the center is just set, 25 to 30 minutes.
Drizzle the endive and walnuts lightly with olive oil and toss. Serve the quiche hot or at room temperature with the endive.
