This delicious quiche is chock-full of onions, artichokes, and mozzarella cheese. You have to create a water bath so the quiche cooks evenly and doesn't burn, but it's a lot easier than you'd think. Place the pie pan in a large sheet pan, then pour in a little bit of water. The hardest part is getting the setup into the oven! Then, to get it a beautiful golden brown color, you're going to have to broil the quiche. Just keep an eye on it, as broilers can vary in intensity. Feel free to add spinach, mushrooms, and/or garlic to the quiche to mix things up from time to time. You'll love how versatile this recipe is.

Ingredients

Cooking spray

1 spray(s)

Olive oil

2 tsp

Onion

1 medium, red, thinly sliced

Canned artichoke hearts, drained

13¾ oz

Dried tarragon

½ tsp

Regular plain soy milk

1 cup(s)

Egg

2 large egg(s), lightly beaten

Egg whites

2 large, lightly beaten

Regular soy cheese

3 oz, grated mozzarella variety, divided (about 3/4 cup)

Lemon zest

1 tsp

Table salt

½ tsp

Black pepper

¼ tsp

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9-inch pie plate with cooking spray. Boil 4 cups of water in a medium saucepan.
  2. Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onion until softened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add artichoke hearts and tarragon. Cook until artichokes are heated through, about 2 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, whisk together milk, eggs, egg whites, 1/2 cup of cheese, lemon zest, salt and pepper. Pour into prepared pie plate. Scatter onion mixture evenly over egg mixture. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of cheese.
  4. To bake quiche, create a water bath: Set a large sheet pan with sides on a flat surface. Place pie plate on sheet pan. Pour hot water around pie plate so it goes 1/2 inch up sides of pie plate (do not get water on quiche). Carefully lift sheet pan to prevent splattering water and place in oven. Bake in water bath until quiche is set in center, about 45 minutes.
  5. To remove pie plate from water bath, slide 2 large spatulas under pie plate and remove pie plate from oven (make sure to wear oven mitts). Leave sheet pan in oven so water can cool before removing pan from oven.
  6. Turn oven to broil. Broil quiche 3 inches from heat until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before cutting into 8 pieces.
