Ingredients
Quiche Base
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese
- 2 cups Fresh Spinach
- 4 pcs Eggs
- 1 medium Onion
- 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
Cheesy Finish
- 1 cup Cheddar Cheese
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the quiche.
- Prepare the Vegetables: Finely chop the onion and wash the fresh spinach thoroughly. Sauté the onion and spinach in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until the onion is translucent and the spinach is wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
- Mix the Base Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Add the cottage cheese, sautéed spinach and onion mixture, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until all ingredients are combined evenly.
- Add the Cheese: Fold in most of the cheddar cheese, reserving some to sprinkle on top before baking for a golden finish.
- Pour into Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking pan. Pour the quiche mixture into the dish, spreading evenly.
- Bake the Quiche: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden. Insert a knife into the center to check doneness; it should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and allow the quiche to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For a vegan version, substitute eggs with a commercial egg replacer and use dairy-free cheese alternatives.
- Ricotta cheese can be used instead of cottage cheese for a creamier texture.
- Kale can replace spinach if you prefer a heartier green.
- Add fresh herbs like thyme or parsley for enhanced flavor.
- Ensure the quiche cools slightly before slicing to maintain shape.
