Description
A light and fluffy crustless quiche packed with protein-rich cottage cheese and nutritious spinach. Perfect for a quick breakfast, brunch, or even a light dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 5 ounces fresh spinach
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; sauté until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Squeeze out excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs. Add cottage cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and oregano. Mix well.
- Fold in the cooked spinach mixture.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
You can customize the seasonings to taste. Add cooked bacon or mushrooms for extra flavor. For a dairy-free version, use vegan cheese and tofu instead of cottage cheese.
