Total Time:50 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
For the Quiche Base
1 cup cottage cheese
2 cups fresh spinach
4 pcs eggs
1 medium onion
1 teaspoon garlic powder
For the Cheesy Finish
1 cup cheddar cheese
Salt to taste
Pepper to taste
Instructions
Prepare the Vegetables: Finely chop the onion and wash the fresh spinach thoroughly. Sauté the onion in a pan over medium heat until translucent, then add the spinach and cook until wilted. Set aside to cool slightly.
Mix the Base: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together with the cottage cheese. Add the garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then stir in the cooled spinach and onion mixture until well combined.
Assemble the Quiche: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour the egg and spinach mixture into a greased baking dish. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Bake the Quiche: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown. Insert a toothpick into the center to check; it should come out clean.
Serve: Allow the quiche to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy as a hearty breakfast or light lunch option.
Notes
Substitute cottage cheese with ricotta for a creamier texture.
Kale can replace spinach for a heartier green.
Use shallots instead of onions for a milder flavor.
Fresh minced garlic can be used instead of garlic powder for more aroma.
For a vegan version, consider egg substitutes and dairy-free cheese alternatives.
Adding herbs like thyme or parsley can enhance the flavor.
