High-Protein Cottage Cheese Quiche

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch pie dish with a little olive oil.
2. In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat and sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 2 minutes.
4. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper.
5. Stir in the ham, parsley, and the sautéed onion and spinach mixture.
6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
7. Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the quiche is set and the top is golden brown.
8. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.

Chef’s Tips

• Feel free to substitute the ham with cooked bacon or sausage for a different flavor.
• Experiment with different cheeses like Swiss or mozzarella for variety.
