To make
Fill a homemade pie cake with a mixture of summer squash, bacon, and creamy mozzarella. It's hard to believe that this delicious quiche contains less than 300 calories.
To make the cake, spoon the flour into dry measuring cups; flatten with a knife. Combine the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a food processor and beat 2 times or until smooth. Add the butter and baking powder; beat 4 times or until the mixture resembles coarse flour. With the food processor turned on, pour ice water through the cooking chute, working until the mixture is smooth (don't form a ball). Squeeze out a 4-inch circle on plastic wrap and cover. Refrigerate for 1 hour.Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.Place 2 sheets of plastic wrap overlapping each other on a slightly damp, flat surface. Unwrap and place the cooled dough on plastic wrap. Cover the dough with 2 more overlapping sheets of plastic wrap. Roll out the dough, without removing the lid, into a 12-inch circle. Place the dough in the freezer for 5 minutes or until the plastic wrap can be easily removed. Remove the top sheets of plastic wrap and place the dough, plastic wrap side up, in a 9 1/2-inch-deep pie dish smeared with cooking spray. Remove the remaining plastic wrap from the dough. Bend the edges and make a recess. Pierce the bottom and sides of the dough with a fork. Bake at 400 ° C for 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees.To prepare the filling, preheat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pour the oil into the pan; stir to coat. Add the courgettes, zucchini, shallots, and thyme; cook for 5 minutes or until the courgettes and zucchini are tender, stirring frequently. Cool the zucchini mixture slightly.Combine 1 cup of low-fat milk and the following 5 ingredients (including eggs) in a large bowl, stirring with a whisk. Spread the zucchini mixture evenly over the cake and sprinkle with 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese. Pour the egg mixture over the cheese. Bake at 350 ° C for 45 minutes or until the filling is set. Cool for 15 minutes on a wire rack.Сочетание с вином: Насыщенное освежающей минеральностью и достаточным количеством сладкого дымчатого вкуса, кюве из винограда сорта Пино Блан 2006 года "Кюве любви" (Эльзас, Франция, 18 долларов США) великолепно сочетается с этим свежим и легким летним пирогом с заварным кремом из кабачков, бекона и моцареллы. --Александр Спейсер
