Instructions

1. Preheat & Prep

• Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

• Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with olive oil or non-stick spray.

2. Sauté the Vegetables

• Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

• Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes until softened.

• Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.

• Add the chopped spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

3. Mix the Egg & Cheese Base

• In a large bowl, whisk together:

  • 4 eggs

  • 1 cup cottage cheese

  • ½ cup milk

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

  • Salt, pepper, nutmeg, and oregano

4. Combine & Pour

• Stir the sautéed spinach mixture into the egg and cheese mixture.

• Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and smooth the top.

5. Bake

• Place in the oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.

• To check doneness, insert a knife in the center—if it comes out clean, the quiche is ready.

6. Cool & Serve

• Let the quiche cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

• Serve warm or at room temperature.
