Health benefits of Crustless Spinach and Mushroom Quiche

Spinach is a nutrient-dense leafy green vegetable that is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, magnesium, and antioxidants. The high iron content in spinach helps combat anemia, which is common in women with PCOS. Magnesium helps reduce inflammation and improve insulin sensitivity. The antioxidants in spinach can help lower oxidative stress, which is beneficial for managing PCOS symptoms. Including spinach in your diet can support overall health and well-being.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon canola or corn oil
6 ounces Portobello mushrooms, stemmed and sliced
3 medium green onions, chopped
2 tablespoons port
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 cup (about 2 ½ ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1 teaspoon cornstarch
¾ cup fat-free milk
½ cup egg substitute
¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon shredded or grated Parmesan Cheese
1/8 tablespoon pepper
Pinch of nutmeg

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350? F. Lightly spray two 10-ounce ovenproof custard cups or individual pie pans with cooking spray. Place on a shallow baking sheet.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the oil over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Cook the mushrooms and green onions for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the port. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until fragrant. Remove from heat. Add the spinach. Using a spoon, separate it into small pieces.
Put the cornstarch in a medium bowl. Pour in the milk, whisking to dissolve. Whisk in the remaining ingredients. Stir in the mushroom mixture. Pour into custard cups.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the centers are puffed and set (don’t jiggle when gently shaken). Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
