Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large flour tortillas
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup small-curd cottage cheese
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheese, divided
  • 1 cup loosely packed baby spinach, roughly chopped (optional)
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved (optional)
  • Butter or oil for greasing

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Butter a 9-inch pie dish and press the tortillas into the bottom and up the sides to form a crust.
  2. Whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper, then stir in ½ cup shredded cheese and any vegetables.
  3. Pour the filling into the crust, top with the remaining cheese, and bake 30 to 35 minutes until puffed and set in the center.
  4. Rest the quiche for 5 minutes, then slice and serve.

Notes

If you use vegetables with a lot of moisture, like zucchini, sauté them first to remove excess water. The quiche will still taste good warm or at room temperature, so it works well for a packed lunch.
