Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 9 eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 ounces ham diced
- 1 bell pepper diced
- 2 cups spinach roughly chopped
- Nonstick cooking spray or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly coat a 9" round pie dish (or baking dish) with nonstick cooking spray or oil.
- Add the eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to a high speed blender. Blend until smooth, about 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Stir in the ham, peppers, and spinach then pour into the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 50 to 60 minutes until the quiche is completely set in the middle. Cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- Pan size matters. A 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish works best for even cooking.
- You can customize the meat, vegetables, or cheese based on what you have on hand.
- Don't forget to let the quiche rest 10 to 15 minutes before serving.
- Store slices in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
