Easy Greek Quiche- Texas Morning Glory

1 green bell pepper, diced

½ medium onion, diced

2 tablespoons butter

6 lightly beaten eggs

1 cup feta cheese

1 cup half and half

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 unbaked pie shell

½ tomato sliced

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a skillet, sauté peppers and onions lightly in butter.  Spread evenly in pie shell.  In a bowl, combine eggs, cheese, half and half.  Pour evenly over pie shell.  Top with thinly sliced tomatoes.  Bake at 350 for 35 minutes.  Serves six to eight.

Lorie’s TIP:  Reduce calories by substituting skim milk for half and half and by baking this quiche crust less!  Just be sure to grease cooking dish with non-stick spray.
