I found this recipe in my new favorite cooking magazine, Clean Eating. It's so yummy and good for you, and at 190 calories for 1/5 of a pie, you can't go wrong!

Ingredients:
2 cups eggplant, chopped
1 cup zucchini, chopped
1 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp extra virgin oilive oil
4 artichoke hearts (water packed and drained from jar)
1 egg
1 cup egg whites
1 cup skim milk
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/2 cup fresh basil, torn in pieces
3/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
cooking spray

Instructions:
One: Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a large non-stick skillet saute eggpplant, zucchini, bell pepper, onion and garlic for about 10 minutes. Then turn off heat and gently fold in artichokes.

Two: In a medium size bowl, whisk egg, egg whites, black pepper, thyme and oregano. Add egg mixture, basil, and mozzarella to vegetable mixture and stir until evenly mixed.

Three: Mist an 8 or 9 inch round or square glass pan with cooking spray. Pour egg-veggie mixture in. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and let sit for 10 minutes to set quiche.
