Source: Drizzle Me Skinny
Prep: 10 min    Cook: 45 min

Ingredients

1 pkg Pillsbury® Crescent Rolls reduced fat
1½ cup fresh spinach, chopped

¼ cup fat free skim milk
⅓ cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. Using an 8 inch round pie plate, shape your crescent dough into a pie shell, this will involve a little breaking of dough pieces to form your pie shell. Please note: do not pre-bake your dough as the eggs need enough time to bake that the crust will bake properly as well.
  3. In a bowl whisk your eggs, egg whites and milk together, add in your ricotta cheese, mozzarella and salt and pepper. Stir in your chopped spinach.
  4. Pour into your dough pie shell and bake in oven for 40-45 minutes, until the eggs are set.
