¾ cup egg substitute

¾ cup reduced-fat baking mix (such as Bisquick Light)

¼ tsp salt

¼ pepper

½ curry powder

Optional garnish:  red pepper flakes

 

1.              Preheat oven to 400degrees.

2.              Spray a 10-inch pie pan with cooking spray.  Layer first four ingredients in the pan.

3.              In a blender container, combine remaining ingredients.  Blend on medium speed for 30 seconds or until mixture is smooth.  Pour egg mixture into pan.  If desired, sprinkle red pepper flakes on the egg mixture.  Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until firm.  Allow pie to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before slicing.  This recipe may be assembled a day ahead and refrigerated overnight.  Increase baking time to 35 minutes for chilled mixture.
