Ingredients

Scale

Dairy

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Produce

  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

Eggs and Seasonings

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat fully to ensure even baking of the quiche.
  2. Mix eggs and seasonings: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add cheeses and spinach: Fold in the cottage cheese, chopped spinach, shredded mozzarella, and grated Parmesan cheese into the egg mixture, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients evenly.
  4. Prepare the baking dish: Grease a 9-inch pie dish to prevent sticking, then pour the quiche mixture into the dish, smoothing the top as needed.
  5. Bake the quiche: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the quiche is set in the center and has a golden brown top.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving to allow the filling to set perfectly.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture.
  • You can substitute the spinach with kale or Swiss chard if desired.
  • This quiche can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • To reheat, warm slices in the oven or microwave until heated through.
  • Make sure to chop the spinach finely so it blends well into the filling without adding excess moisture.
