Cottage Cheese & Spinach Crustless Quiche
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 1 cup Cottage cheese (small curd works best for texture!) 🧀
- 1 cup Fresh spinach, chopped 🍃
- 4 large Eggs 🥚
- 1/2 cup Shredded Mozzarella or Cheddar cheese 🧀
- 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese 🧀
- 1/2 Onion, finely diced 🧅
- 1 clove Garlic, minced 🧄
- 1/2 tsp Salt & Black pepper to taste 🧂
- Optional: A pinch of nutmeg or red pepper flakes for a little kick! 🌶️✨
👩🍳 Instructions
- Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 9-inch pie dish or a small casserole dish. 📝🔥
- Sauté: In a small skillet, sauté the onions and garlic with a drizzle of olive oil until soft and translucent (about 3-4 minutes). Stir in the chopped spinach just until wilted, then remove from heat. 🧅🍃🧄
- Whisk: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Stir in the cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and Parmesan. 🥚🌪️🧀
- Combine: Fold the sautéed spinach and onion mixture into the egg and cheese base. Season with salt and pepper. 🌀🥣
- Bake: Pour the mixture into your prepared dish. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is a beautiful golden brown. ⏲️🎯🤤
- Cool & Slice: Let it rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps the quiche firm up so you get those perfect, fluffy wedges! 🍽️✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The Texture Secret: If you prefer a smoother, custard-like texture, you can blend the eggs and cottage cheese in a blender before folding in the spinach! 🌪️💎
- Mix-in Magic: Feel free to add diced bell peppers, mushrooms, or even cooked bacon for extra flavor. 🫑🍄🥓
