An easy, protein-packed crustless quiche made with cottage cheese and fresh spinach, perfect for any meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant milk)
  • 3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar or Gruyère cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg (optional)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or butter for sautéing
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion until soft, about 4–5 minutes. Add spinach and cook until wilted and any liquid has evaporated. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir in the cottage cheese and half of the shredded cheese. For a smoother texture, pulse the cottage cheese in a blender before mixing.
  4. Fold the cooled spinach and onion mixture into the egg mixture. Pour into the prepared dish and sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
  5. Bake for 30–40 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Cottage cheese gives the quiche a tender texture and adds protein. For a smoother custard, blend the cottage cheese before mixing.
