This unusual quiche, instead of being baked in a high-fat crust, incorporates flour into the filling. As the quiche bakes, the flour settles to the bottom of the pan to form a layer of "crust."
2 tsp Whole Foods Organic Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 medium red bell peppers, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
1 medium onion, minced
1 cup chopped tomato
2 whole eggs
3 egg whites
1 cup low-fat (1%) milk
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
2/3 cup flour
1 cup bottled salsa
Prep Time: 55 minutes
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 9" quiche pan without a removable bottom) or 7" x 11" baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over low heat. Add red and green bell peppers and onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables have softened, about five minutes.
Stir in tomato and cook until almost all liquid has evaporated, about five minutes. Transfer vegetables to a large mixing bowl and set aside to cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, beat together whole eggs and egg whites. Stir in milk, Parmesan, salt and black pepper, and mix until well combined. Whisk in flour.
Transfer vegetables to prepared pan. Pour egg mixture over vegetables and bake until eggs are just set, about 35 minutes.
Cool quiche 10 minutes before cutting into six wedges. Serve topped with salsa.

If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you!!!
Thanks once again for the recipe. This is a good example of a huge number of "Impossible Pie" recipes, ranging all the way from fruit pies to all kinds of meat and fish. It is a GREAT way to use up leftovers, too! Do a quick Google search for Impossible Pie recipes. They're really super easy and easily changed up to take care of whatever ingredients you have on hand. Right now we have a can of cherry pie filling in the pantry that is destined for one of these pies. Enjoy -- and thanks again for all the great recipes.
