Ingredients
Scale
Egg Mixture
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk cottage cheese
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
Add-ins
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (optional)
- Up to 1 cup choice of vegetables and proteins (bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, bacon, or ham)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for even baking.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Spray a 9-inch baking dish with oil to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal of the quiche.
- Blend Base Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and well incorporated for a creamy quiche base.
- Add Cheese and Fillings: Stir in the grated cheese and your choice of vegetables and proteins, mixing thoroughly to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
- Pour Mixture: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly for uniform cooking.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges turn golden brown, indicating the quiche is cooked through.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing. This helps it set further and makes serving easier.
Notes
- You can customize the quiche by using any vegetables or proteins you prefer, such as bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, bacon, or ham.
- If you prefer a vegetarian option, omit meats and add more vegetables.
- The grated cheese is optional but adds a pleasant richness and flavor.
- Make sure the quiche is fully set before removing from the oven; the center should not be liquid.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated for a quick meal.
