Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk cottage cheese
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Fillings

  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (your choice, such as cheddar, Swiss, or mozzarella)
  • Optional: Up to 1 cup chopped vegetables or meats (e.g., spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, ham, cooked bacon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the quiche evenly.
  2. Prepare baking dish: Lightly spray a 9-inch baking dish with oil to prevent sticking and make serving easier.
  3. Blend ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a creamy base for the quiche.
  4. Add fillings: Transfer the blended mixture to a bowl and stir in the grated cheese along with any optional chopped vegetables or meats you prefer. Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the fillings.
  5. Bake: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until the quiche is fully set, a knife inserted in the center comes out clean, and the top is golden brown.
  6. Cool and serve: Allow the quiche to cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up a bit for cleaner slices and enhances flavors before serving.

Notes

  • You can customize the quiche by adding your favorite chopped vegetables like spinach, tomatoes, or mushrooms.
  • For added protein, include cooked meats such as ham, bacon, or sausage.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian option, omit the meat and load it up with veggies.
  • Make sure to use a whole milk cottage cheese for the best creamy texture.
  • Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
