Serves 6
- 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup diced green onions
- 2 ounces Gouda cheese, grated
- 2 cups low fat milk
- 1 ounce Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- pinch of pepper
- 3 large eggs
- 3 egg whites
Preheat an oven to 350 degrees.
Place the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, add the bell pepper, zucchini and green onions and sauté for about 2 minutes. Add the garlic to the pan and cook 1 minute more, or until it begins to become fragrant. Remove skillet from heat and transfer even amounts of the sautéed veggies to 6 ramekins. Top with equal amounts of the Gouda.
Return the skillet to heat and add the milk. Cook for about 2 minutes, or until bubbles form around the edges. Turn off the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese.
Whisk the eggs, egg whites and salt and pepper together in a small bowl. Add the milk parmesan mixture, whisking constantly. Pour even amounts of the egg milk mixture into each ramekin.
Place the ramekins into a baking pan. Pour hot water into the baking pans until it sits 1 inch up the sides of the ramekins. Bake 35-40 minutes, or until the custards are almost set in the middle. Let stand 10 minutes and enjoy.
