Mediterranean Cottage Cheese & Spinach Crustless Quiche
2. Blend the Creamy Egg Mixture
In a large bowl, crack your 4 large eggs and add the 1 cup of cottage cheese. Season with your salt and black pepper. Whisk the mixture vigorously (or zip it in a blender for 30 seconds) until it is silky smooth, uniform, and slightly frothy. 🌪️🥚🧀
3. Fold in the Fresh Produce
Add your chopped fresh spinach and finely diced red bell peppers directly into the bowl with the creamy egg mixture. Use a rubber spatula to fold everything together gently, making sure the colorful veggies are evenly distributed throughout the batter. 🥣🍃🫑
4. Pour and Spread
Carefully pour the vibrant egg and veggie mixture into your prepared pie dish. Use your spatula to smooth out the top, ensuring the spinach and red peppers are evenly spread from the center to the edges for a perfect bite every single time. 🌊🥧
5. Bake to Golden Perfection
Pop the dish into the center rack of your oven and bake for 30–35 minutes. You will watch it puff up beautifully around the sides! It is perfectly cooked when the center is completely set (no longer jiggling) and the top boasts a gorgeous, delicate golden-brown edge. ⏲️🔥
6. Cool, Slice, and Feast!
Remove the quiche carefully from the oven and let it rest on the counter for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This resting time is crucial because it allows the high-protein structure to settle into a velvety, sliceable texture. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired, cut into generous wedges, and dive right in! 🍽️🎉😋
