  • 1 cup julienne-sliced leeks
  • 2 cups julienne-sliced zucchini
  • 2 cups julienne-sliced yellow squash
  • 1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup margarine
  • 2 to 3 tbsp cold water
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 tbsp 1% low-fat milk
  • 1 tsp dried italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1/4 cup (1 oz) finely grated reduced-fat gruyere cheese

Directions:

  1. Add water to a Dutch oven to a depth of 2 inches; bring to a boil. Add leeks; cover and simmer 5 minutes. Add zucchini, squash, and sweet red pepper; cover and simmer 5 minutes. Drain well; pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Place flour in a bowl; cut in margarine with a pastry blender until mixture resembles coarse meal. Sprinkle cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, evenly over surface of mixture; stir with a fork until dry ingredients are moistened. Shape into a ball.
  3. Place dough between 2 sheets of heavy-duty plastic wrap, and gently press into a 4-inch circle. Chill 20 minutes. Roll into a 12-inch circle. Freeze 5 minutes. Remove top sheet of plastic wrap. Invert and fit pastry into a 9-inch quiche dish or pieplate; remove remaining sheet of plastic. Fold edges of pastry under, and flute; seal to edge of pieplate. Bake pastry shell at 450° for 5 minutes. Spoon vegetable mixture into pastry.
