SKINNY CRAB QUICHE

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the crab, cheese, zucchini and onions. Press onto the bottom and up the sides of a 9-in. deep-dish pie plate coated with cooking spray. In another bowl, combine the egg substitute, milk, mustard, salt and lemon-pepper; mix well. Pour into crust. Sprinkle with paprika., Bake, uncovered, at 400° until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before cutting.

BREAD CRUST ZUCCHINI QUICHE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Cut bread slices in half diagonally, and arrange around edge of 9-inch pie plate.
• In a medium skillet, melt butter and saute zucchini until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Add tomato and oregano, and cook for 3 minutes. Stir in the flour, and spoon mixture into center of the bread-lined pie plate.
• In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese, eggs, yogurt, and 1/2 the Parmesan cheese. Spoon this mixture over the vegetables in the pie plate, and sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese.
• Bake 30 minutes in the preheated oven, until firm in center.

ZUCCHINI "CRAB" CAKES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add zucchini, eggs, breadcrumbs, Old Bay, black pepper, mayonnaise and parsley. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
• Scoop out 1/3 cup (packed) of zucchini batter. Press the zucchini firmly into the cup. You want to make sure you really compact the zucchini batter so that the cakes don't fall apart. Flip the measuring cup upside down to release the zucchini cake onto a sheet of parchment paper. The zucchini should slide out still holding its form from the cup. Repeat with remaining zucchini batter.
• In a medium skillet, add oil and bring to medium high heat. Depending on the size of your pan you may need more oil. You need a little more than 1/4 inch of oil so that the oil reaches the halfway point on the zucchini cakes during cooking. Gently slide a few of the crab cakes into the hot oil and cook a few minutes on each side until they are golden and crispy on both sides. Place cooked crab cakes onto a paper towel to soak up some of the excess oil. Repeat until all crab cakes are cooked. Serve crab cakes while they are still warm, with tartar sauce and fresh lemon juice.

• Grate the zucchini. Place in a colander and squeeze out all of the water. Remove the zucchini. Stir in the chopped onion; set aside.
• In a small bowl, with two forks or a pastry blender, mix the flour, baking powder, salt and vegetable oil well until small pea sized pebbles form; set aside.
• In a large bowl, with a fork, mix together the eggs. Add in the herbs, salt and pepper. Gently stir in the flour mixture with a spoon. Add in the grated zucchini and onion. Stir in the cheeses. Gently combine to make sure it is all evenly distributed.
• Carefully pour into your prepped pie plate. Bake for 45-50 minutes. Check around 30 minutes and if it seems to be browning too quickly, cover with foil paper. Every oven is different and we bake ours the whole time uncovered.
