Jennifer's version of Spinach Quiche
This made 2 quiches
8 eggs
16 oz low fat cottage cheese
baby spinach
mushrooms - sliced
roma tomatoes - diced
green onions - chopped (I use the white part and green)
2 Cup (1 pkg already shredded) Cheddar Cheese
1 TBSP minced garlic
salt and pepper to taste
Go crustless, or use a pie shell (pre cooked per directions). I like to use almonds crushed in a food processor sprinkled on the bottom of my pie pan. Then I save a bit for just before done cooking. Just don't chop them too fine. It's best chunky.
Preheat oven to 350 (If you have used pie shell you probably already have it hot). Spray pie pans with non-stick spray (if you aren't using pie shell)
Beat the eggs and cottage cheese together add salt and pepper and garlic. Each quiche gets 1 cup cheese, mix 3/4 C in the egg mixture.
Spread out the Spinach, mushrooms, tomatoes, green onions on the bottom of the pie pan. Pour the egg mixture over the top (I spoon out to make sure cottage cheese doesn't settle).
Bake for 30 min. After 30, add the 1/4 left of the cheese to the top then bake for an addition 15 min, or until firm.
*If you use the crushed almond sprinkled in the pie pan, you will want to mix all your ingredients together and spoon it over the almonds. When I pull out the quiche to add the rest of the cheese, I sprinkle the residual crushed almonds over the top.
