Crustless Spinach & Feta Quiche

Ingredients:

8 egg whites

2 eggs

1/2 tub of baby spinach 

1 yellow onion - diced

4 green onion stocks - diced

3 garlic cloves, crushed

4 oz (1/2 cup) crumbled reduced fat feta

1 tbsp coconut oil

1 tsp coconut oil (for greasing the pan)

sea salt and ground pepper to taste

This is the coconut oil I recommend:

In a large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp coconut oil.  When the oil starts to shine, add your onions:

Add a handful of spinach at a time

And stir the spinach leaves into the onions until they start to wilt.

Once you have incorporated all of the spinach you are going to use, turn off heat and add garlic. Stir in the garlic until it becomes fragrant.  You don't want the garlic to brown.

Combine eggs, egg whites, salt, pepper, spinach mix and feta in a bowl and mix well.

Then pour into your greased baking pan (8 x 8 or a round pan)

Bake for 16-18 minutes, (or until firm in the middle) then let cool and serve!
