Hi!

 

I'm new to this list, and am already enjoying the great recipes :)

 

Does anyone have a recipe for a low-fat cornmeal pie crust? I want to stock

my freezer with quiches and thought some different crusts would be nice. Any

other unusual pie crust recipes, preferably low-fat, would be greatly

appreciated.

 

Thanks -

Hi Kate -

 

Welcome to the list. I love it here! I got your message and the following

recipe one right after the other today. This recipe comes from a 24-Hour

Fitness health club listserv that I belong to. I know it's not a cornmeal, but

it's quiche with a non-traditional crust! If you used a low-fat bread for the

crust it might fit your needs. I haven't tried it yet but it looks good. I

will search my recipie archives to see if I can find some low-fat cornmeal

crusts for you.

 

Since we are also talking about quiche, I would love some other low-fat quiche

recipies if anyone has them to offer the list!

 

Thanks,

Cathi

 

 

Artichoke Quiche

3 slices whole wheat bread

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon dried thyme

1/4 teaspoon paprika

2 cups dry-curd cottage cheese

1/2 cup egg substitute

2 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

12 oz. cooked artichoke hearts (can be bottled but not packed in oil)

 

Place bread in a blender or food processor and process into breadcrumbs.

Transfer to a medium bowl. Add the oil, thyme and paprika and mix well. Press

into the bottom and up the sides of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake at 400 degrees for

7 minutes.

 

In a food processor puree the cottage cheese, egg substitute and Parmesan

cheese. Transfer to a large bowl. Pat the artichokes dry with paper towels and

cut into bit-size pieces. Stir artichokes into the cheese mixture and pour into

the pie shell. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until an inserted knife

comes out clean. To serve, cut into 8 slices.
