Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup diced white or sweet onion
  • 2 cloves garlic crushed
  • 16 ounces fat-free or low-fat cottage cheese
  • 10 ounces frozen chopped spinach thawed and drained
  • 1/2 cup tomatoes chopped and seeded
  • 2.5 ounces crumbled light feta cheese, fat-free, or regular
  • 1/4 cup chopped basil leaves, about 4-5 large leaves
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 6 eggs whisked

Instructions

  • Thaw the frozen spinach and then drain it. Ensure you get all the water out of it. Place it in a strainer and squeeze all the water out of it with your hands. You don’t want any excess liquid in the spinach.
  • Lightly spray a non-stick pan with olive oil. Then, add the diced onion and crushed garlic cloves. Sauté the onions and garlic over medium-low heat until the onions are translucent and the garlic is cooked, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the cottage cheese, thawed and drained spinach, chopped tomatoes, crumbled feta, chopped basil leaves, salt, pepper, cooked onions, and garlic to a large bowl. Then, mix these ingredients.
  • Crack six eggs and whisk them in a bowl. Then, pour the whisked eggs into the large bowl with the rest of the ingredients.
  • Thoroughly mix all the ingredients.
  • Spray a 9-inch round, 2-inch deep, non-stick baking dish with olive oil. Then, pour the quiche mixture into the baking dish. Spread the quiche evenly in the baking dish. Optional: Add 4-5 slices of tomato to the top before baking.
  • Bake the quiche at 350°F for 45-55 minutes, until fully cooked. After that, let it slightly cool, slice it, and enjoy!
