Equipment

Large skillet
9" Pie dish

Ingredients

1 tbsp olive oil
1 lb 93% lean ground beef
½ onion finely chopped
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
5 oz fresh baby spinach *I've used up to 6 oz here (it wilts down so much)
2 Roma tomatoes seeded and chopped
4 oz sharp cheddar cheese shredded from block
4 large eggs
1 cup liquid egg whites
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp pepper

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. and spray a pie dish with olive oil spray.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the ground beef and onions until the meat is no longer pink, about 8 minutes.
Season the meat with garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika and stir to combine. Spread the meat mixture onto the bottom of the pie dish.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until wilted. Top the meat with the spinach in the pie dish.
Top with chopped tomatoes and shredded cheese.
Whisk together the eggs, egg whites, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture on top.
Bake the quiche for 25-30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the quiche to rest for 10-20 minutes, then slice into 6 slices and serve.
