Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prepare for baking the quiche mixture.
- Sauté onions: Heat a pan over medium heat and sauté the finely chopped onion until softened, about 5 minutes, to enhance flavor and reduce harshness.
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together cottage cheese, sautéed onions, chopped spinach, eggs, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and half of the shredded cheddar cheese until evenly combined.
- Assemble quiche: Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top for a cheesy crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and golden brown on top.
- Cool and serve: Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing to help it set further and maintain its shape when served.
Notes
- Make sure to sauté the onions until softened to avoid a raw onion taste in the quiche.
- For creamier texture, you can blend the cottage cheese before mixing.
- This quiche can be made ahead and reheated for a quick meal.
- Feel free to add herbs like parsley or chives for extra freshness.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
