Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ½ cup shredded cheese cheddar or mozzarella
  • ½ cup spinach chopped
  • ¼ cup onion chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
  

Preheat the Oven

  • Set your oven to 180°C (350°F). Let it heat fully before baking. This ensures the quiche cooks evenly and sets properly.

Prepare the Baking Dish

  • Lightly grease a baking dish with oil. This prevents sticking and makes it easier to remove the quiche after baking.

Cook the Vegetables

  • Heat olive oil in a pan. Add chopped onions and cook until soft. Add spinach and cook briefly until wilted. Set aside to cool.

Mix the Eggs

  • Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Whisk them well until smooth. This step creates the base for your quiche.

Add Cottage Cheese and Milk

  • Add cottage cheese and milk into the eggs. Mix gently until well combined. The mixture should look creamy and smooth.

Add Cheese and Seasoning

  • Add shredded cheese, salt, pepper and garlic powder. Stir well to combine. These ingredients add flavor and richness.

Combine Vegetables

  • Add the cooked vegetables into the mixture. Stir gently. Make sure everything is evenly distributed.

Pour into Baking Dish

  • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly. This helps the quiche cook evenly and look neat.

Bake the Quiche

  • Place the dish in the oven. Bake for about 30–35 minutes. The top should be golden and the center set.

Cool and Serve

  • Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice and serve warm. It tastes soft, creamy and delicious.

Notes

  • Use low-fat cottage cheese for a lighter option
  • Add mushrooms or bell peppers for more flavor
  • Use feta cheese for a tangy twist
  • Add cooked chicken for extra protein
  • Use herbs like basil or parsley
  • Bake in muffin tins for small portions
