This Cottage Cheese and Spinach Crustless Quiche is a light, fluffy, and healthy dish that combines creamy cottage cheese, savory eggs, and fresh vegetables like spinach and bell pepper. It’s a low-carb, gluten-free meal that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or any time of the day.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small onion, diced

1/2 bell pepper, diced

2 cups fresh baby spinach, chopped

1 1/2 cups cottage cheese

4 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or half cheddar, half mozzarella)

1/2 cup milk

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened. Add the chopped spinach and cook for another 2 minutes, until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside to cool.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
  3. Once the vegetables have cooled slightly, add them to the egg and cottage cheese mixture. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella).
  4. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan. Pour the quiche mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
  5. Bake the quiche for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
  6. Allow the quiche to cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature. Leftovers can be refrigerated and enjoyed the next day.

Notes

Feel free to swap bell pepper and spinach for other vegetables such as zucchini, mushrooms, or tomatoes.

Try different cheeses like feta, mozzarella, or parmesan for varied flavors.

This quiche is great for meal prep! It stores well for up to 3 days in the fridge and can be reheated easily.
