Crustless Cottage Cheese & Spinach Quiche


This quiche has become a go-to for our busy mornings. It's packed with protein, super easy to make, and perfect for using up leftover veggies. My kids love it, and I love that it feels like a cozy hug on a plate!


Ingredients:


1 tbsp oil


1 small onion, diced


1/2 bell pepper, diced


2 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped


1 1/2 cups cottage cheese


4 large eggs


1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I used half cheddar and half mozzarella)


1/2 cup milk


1/2 tsp garlic powder


1 tsp Italian seasoning


Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions:


1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with oil.


2. In a skillet over medium heat, add the oil and sauté the diced onion and bell pepper until they soften, about 3–4 minutes.


3. Add the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.


4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, shredded cheese, milk, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well blended.


5. Stir in the sautéed vegetables into the egg mixture.


6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread it evenly.


7. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top.


8. Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.


Yields: 6–8 servings
