27 calories per serving!!!
4 slices prosciutto, fat trimmed, halved
2 egg whites
1 whole egg
3 tablespoons nonfat plain Greek yogurt ( if you can't find this, try using fat free sour cream)
1 tablespoon chopped black olives ( optional)
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary, plus more for garnish
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Heat oven to 400°F. Coat a mini muffin pan with cooking spray. Press 1 piece prosciutto into each of 8 cups. Whisk egg whites and whole egg until smooth. Whisk in yogurt, olives, rosemary, salt and pepper. Divide mixture among cups. Bake, uncovered, until quiches are cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. ( I think they take longer than that) Garnish with rosemary.

Baked Spring Rolls
Makes 10 spring rolls. ( but make more, as they will go fast!)
Ingredients
•10 large spring roll wrappers (refrigerated)
•1/2 lb extra-lean ground meat (turkey, pork, or beef)
•1 Tbsp fresh ginger, peeled & minced
•1-2 Tbsp sesame oil
•1/4 tsp salt
•3 cups cabbage, shredded
•1 large carrot, peeled & grated
•1 Tbsp water
Preheat oven to 350 F
Shred cabbage, peel and grate carrots, peel and mince ginger.
In frying pan, saute meat in 1/2 Tbsp sesame oil with ginger and salt until well cooked.
Transfer meat to large mixing bowl, and pour off excess oil. Return pan to heat, adding cabbage, carrots, and water, and cook until all the water has evaporated, and cabbage is clear.
Toss cabbage and carrots with meat.
Spray a baking sheet with nonstick, zero-calorie cooking spray.
Separate spring roll wrappers carefully, and brush each with sesame oil. (This can be done as you go.) Spoon a small amount (one tenth of the mixture) into a diagonal line across one corner of a single wrapper, then fold up the top and bottom and roll into a cylindrical shape.
Place finished rolls on cookie sheet and bake 15 minutes on each side, or until golden brown, spraying with zero-calorie cooking spray upon turning.
Serve hot with plum or sweet-and-sour sauce.
Notes
Vegetarians may substitute a comparable amount of low-fat, firm tofu for meat. Brown in oil as described, and continue with recipe as directed.
