Description
A simple, low-carb crustless quiche that is easy to make and packed with protein.
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- ½ small onion, finely diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Grease a 9-inch pie dish or similar baking dish.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook for 2–3 minutes. Add the spinach and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until wilted. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, and heavy cream until well combined.
- Stir in the cheddar, mozzarella, cooked bacon, onion, spinach, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread everything evenly.
- Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the quiche rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm or at room temperature.
