Tuesday Recipe

This one is another MWL.  We just had it for supper last night, and it's one of our favorites--even for those in our family who are not big fans of tomatoes.  It's a nice high-protein meatless alternative to legumes, which we've been having a lot lately.  It's not as low in fat as some of the other bean recipes, but I figure we can afford an occasional splurge in that department.  And it's pretty quick and easy, especially if you cheat and buy a frozen pie crust from the store, like I sometimes do.  I made one from scratch last night, and even with that, the entire recipe took me about 25 minutes to prepare.

Tomato Quiche

Preheat oven to 375.  Prepare 1 9-inch pie shell (or remove your frozen one from the freezer).  Bake for 10 minutes.  Place in pie shell:

2  cups chopped or sliced tomatoes

Sprinkle with:

1/2 t. basil
1 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
1/2 t. sugar
4 scallions, chopped

Spread over tomatoes:

1/2 cup grated Swiss cheese
1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese

Combine:

2 eggs, slightly beaten
2 T. flour
1 cup evaporated milk

Pour over cheese and bake at 375 for 40-45 minutes, or until set.  Cool 5 minutes before serving.

P.S. Since we began our meatless cook through the More With Less cookbook (and I've cut back on a lot of impulse buying in the grocery store) we've saved roughly $150-$200 per month on our grocery bill.  Yay!
