Caramelized Onion Broccoli Quiche



1 unbaked pie crust
3 cups sliced sweet onions
1 tsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 tsp olive oil
2 cups frozen shredded hash brown potatoes, thawed
1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped broccoli, thawed and drained
1 cup (4 oz) crumbled feta cheese
2 eggs
2 egg whites
3/4 cup milk

In a large nonstick skillet, cook the onions, sugar and salt in oil over low heat for 40 minutes or until onions are softened and liquid has evaporated. Turn heat to medium-low; add hash browns. Cook 8-10 minutes longer or until potatoes are golden. Remove from heat and set aside.

Using your favorite pie crust recipe prepare an unbaked pie crust in a 9-in. pie plate. Spoon onion mixture into crust. Top with broccoli and cheese.

In a bowl, whisk together eggs, egg whites, and milk; pour over cheese (pie plate will be full). Bake at 350 degrees for 40 minutes. Cover edges with foil. Bake 10-12 minutes longer or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

Yield: 6 servings
