Instructions

Step: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is at the right temperature for baking the quiche evenly.
Step: Spray a 9-inch baking dish with oil to prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup.
Step: In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy to create the quiche base.
Step: Stir in the grated cheese and your selected vegetables and proteins. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors and ingredients.
Step: Pour the blended mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Step: Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the center is fully set and the edges turn golden brown, indicating it is cooked through.
Step: Remove from the oven and allow the quiche to cool slightly before slicing. This helps it to set further and makes serving easier.

Notes

You can customize your quiche with any vegetables or proteins you prefer, such as onions, tomatoes, or cooked turkey sausage. For a lower-fat version, use low-fat or non-fat cottage cheese and omit the grated cheese. This quiche can be prepared a day in advance and reheated in the oven or microwave for convenience.
