A meatless vegetable pie, filled with cheese, that appeals to kids and adults alike.    

Ingredients 2 eggs 2 cups low-fat ricotta cheese 1 cup grated mozzarella or cheddar, or your favorite hard cheese 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Salt and pepper 2 cups cooked vegetables, cut into bite-size piece (carrots, broccoli, zucchini, peppers, squash, etc.) 1 prepared 9-inch pie crust 1 tomato, cut into thin slices

Preparations Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the ricotta and mozzarella and mix well. Add half the Parmesan, salt, and pepper and mix well. Stir in the cooked vegetables. Place the pie crust on a cookie sheet. Line the bottom of the crust with the tomato slices. Add the quiche filling and top with the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Bake on the middle shelf for about 50 to 55 minutes, or until the crust turns a light golden and the filling is puffed up and dry when a toothpick is inserted in the center. (Makes 4 to 6 servings)

Variations You can also add leftover cooked chicken, turkey, pork, or beef, cut into cubes. :D
