BROCCOLI QUICHE

3 (7 1/2-inch diameter) tortillas
1 1/2 cups chopped broccoli
1/2 cup sliced green onion
4 oz. grated reduced-fat cheddar cheese
2 cups egg substitute
1/4 cup skim milk
1/4 tsp. paprika
1 tomato, cut into 8 wedges

Preheat oven to 350 F. Spray a 9-inch pie pan with non-stick cooking spray. Cut 2 of the tortillas in half and place each half in the pan so that the rounded edge is 1/4 inch above the rim. Place the remaining tortilla in the center of the pan. Place broccoli, onion, and cheese over the tortillas. Mix egg and milk together and pour over the top. Sprinkle with paprika. Bake for 45 minutes or until a knife inserted into the center comes out clean. Let sit for 8 minutes before cutting into 8 slices. Garnish each slice with a tomato wedge.
