CANADIAN BACON QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Spray a 9-inch pie dish with vegetable oil spray.
• With a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread on a cutting board or flat surface.
• Cut 5 slices in half vertically (from top crust to bottom crust).
• Cut a 3-inch circle from the remaining slice with a round cookie cutter or a knife (this will go in the center of the crust).
• Place slices of bread in the bottom of the pie dish, slightly overlapping each piece to form a crust, gently pressing in the bottom and partially up the side of the pie dish.
• Place the reserved bread circle in the center and gently press down into the other slices of bread.
• Bake for 10 minutes, or until bread is toasted and golden brown. Remove from oven and place on a cooling rack.
• Scatter Canadian bacon evenly in the bottom of the crust. Top evenly with red bell pepper and green onions.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, egg substitute, eggs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper, until blended.
• Carefully pour egg mixture over the meat and vegetable filling and place the pie dish on a baking sheet.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until center is set. Remove from oven and let mixture rest 5 minutes before cutting into wedges.
