  • 1/2 cup fat-free cottage cheese
    • Points: 0 points
  • 1/2 cup fat-free shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)

  • 1 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, thawed, and drained)
    • Points: 0 points
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
    • Points: 0 points
  • 1/2 cup diced onion

    • Points: 0 points

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Prepare the Vegetables:
    • If using fresh spinach, sauté it in a pan with a bit of cooking spray until wilted. If using frozen spinach, thaw and drain any excess moisture.
    • In a pan, lightly sauté the diced bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms until softened. This step enhances the flavor, but you can skip it if you’re short on time.
  3. Mix the Quiche Batter:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and egg whites.
    • Add the fat-free cottage cheese and shredded cheese to the egg mixture and whisk until well combined.
    • Stir in the cooked vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, onions, mushrooms).
    • Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Prepare the Baking Dish:
    • Lightly spray a 9-inch pie dish or quiche pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour and Bake:
    • Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and slightly golden on top.
    • To check if it’s done, insert a toothpick into the center of the quiche. It should come out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the quiche to cool for a few minutes before slicing it into 6 equal pieces.
    • Serve warm, or let it cool completely and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
