🛒 Ingredients:
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (or 1/2 cup cooked, drained spinach)
4 large eggs
1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: pinch of nutmeg or garlic powder for extra flavor
Optional: diced onion, bell peppers, or mushrooms
🥄 Instructions & Methods:
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease a 9-inch (23 cm) pie dish or quiche dish lightly with butter or cooking spray.
Step 2: Prepare the Spinach
If using fresh spinach, sauté lightly in a nonstick pan for 1–2 minutes until wilted, then drain excess water.
If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
Step 3: Mix the Quiche Filling
In a large bowl, whisk together eggs and milk until smooth.
Add cottage cheese, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and optional seasonings. Mix until well combined.
Fold in spinach and any optional vegetables gently.
Step 4: Bake
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the top.
Bake for 30–40 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top.
Test doneness with a knife inserted in the center—it should come out clean.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy
Let the quiche cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a fresh salad or crusty bread.
📖 History & Formation:
Quiche has its roots in France, originating as a rustic tart made with eggs and cream. Over time, quiches evolved to include a variety of fillings, from meats to vegetables. The crustless quiche is a modern adaptation, ideal for those seeking a lighter, protein-packed alternative. Cottage cheese provides a creamy custard texture without the heaviness of cream or a pastry crust, making it a popular choice in healthy, high-protein versions of this classic dish.
