Who loves tomato pie?  Who wants a lower carb version?  If you answered yes to these 2 questions, today is your lucky day!  How about a phyllo crust + extra veggies+ extra protein from a few added eggs?  This recipe is super easy to make and most of the ingredients (except the phyllo) are probably items you have on hand.  This would be a great recipe for a brunch, lite supper or as a meal for a friend or family member with diabetes..  Hope you like it!

Ingredients

  • 5-6 sheets frozen phyllo dough thawed
  • 3 Tablespoons olive oil divided
  • 1/2 cup frozen or fresh diced onion
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1 10 oz. pkg frozen spinach thawed and drained well
  • 1 medium ripe tomato sliced (place slices on paper towel to remove excess juice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

  3. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil in skillet or non-stick pan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic and mushrooms and sauté until tender about 5-10 minutes. Add drained spinach and toss with other veggies. Heat thoroughly.
  4. Combine eggs, milk and nutmeg in a separate bowl, set aside.
  5. Sprinkle cheese into prepared crust then top with spinach mixture. Arrange sliced tomatoes over the top then pour egg mixture over all. Sprinkle with salt & pepper to taste.
  6. Place pie on a baking sheet and cook about 30-40 minutes or until center is set.
  7. Serve immediately. Store leftovers in refrigerator.
