Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup milk
4 large eggs
1 cup cooked spinach, squeezed dry and chopped
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or round baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in the milk and cottage cheese until well combined.
Add the shredded cheddar, chopped spinach, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix until fully incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Be sure to drain the spinach well to avoid excess moisture in the quiche. You can use fresh or frozen spinach, just cook and squeeze out the liquid. This quiche keeps well in the fridge and can be reheated for quick weekday meals. Feel free to customize with other vegetables or herbs based on what you have on hand.
