Steak And Pumpkin Quiche

Steak and Pumpkin Quiche

Dukan Diet recipes are simple when you keep the ingredients ever-changing and change-up the combinations a lot.  I had leftover steak from the night before so this was a simple “look in the refrigerator and see what I can come up with” recipe.  If you can’t find fresh pumpkin you can swap for bell peppers, zucchini or any other veggie you like.  Broccoli and cauliflower would be great too.  I find that if I cook extra protein I can make 2-3 different things with it.

STEAK AND PUMPKIN QUICHE

Steak And Pumpkin Quiche

2 cups pumpkin or squash, steamed in microwave until almost soft
1 green mild green chili, chopped
1 cup leftover filet, cubed
1/2 cup fat free cheddar
2 T Parmesan cheese, shredded
6 eggs, whisked well
2 T fat free milk

Whisk the egg and milk until well blended.  Spray a small casserole with a bit of cooking spray.  Place the first 6 ingredients in the dish.  Pour egg mixture over the steak and vegetables.  Season with salt and pepper and bake at 375 for 35-40 minutes.
