Description

A nourishing and flavorful crustless quiche made with cottage cheese, fresh spinach, and cheese, perfect for brunch or a light dinner.


Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • Nonstick cooking spray


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Sauté the chopped onion in a pan over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.
