Spinach Swiss Quiche

Warm wedges of this tasty quiche are packed with convenient frozen spinach, sweet red pepper and Swiss cheese. My family requests this dish year-round. You can saute the bacon mixture the night before to reduce prep time on busy mornings. — April Milner, Dearborn Heights, Michigan

1 refrigerated pie pastry

4 turkey bacon strips, diced

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup chopped sweet red pepper

1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry

2 cups egg substitute

1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese

1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

1/4 teaspoon dried parsley flakes

1/4 teaspoon each salt, pepper and paprika

6 tablespoons fat-free sour cream

On a lightly floured surface, unroll pastry. Transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim pastry to 1/2 in. beyond edge of plate; flute edges. Line unpricked pastry with a double thickness of heavy-duty foil.

Bake at 450° for 8 minutes. Remove foil; bake 5 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack. Reduce heat to 350°.

In a small skillet, cook the bacon, onion and red pepper until vegetables are tender; drain. Stir in spinach. Spoon spinach mixture into pastry.

In a small bowl, combine the egg substitute, cottage cheese, Swiss cheese and seasonings; pour over spinach mixture.

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

Serve with sour cream.
