Description

A delicious and creamy spinach quiche made with a blend of cheeses and fresh ingredients, perfect for brunch or any meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese (full-fat)
  • 1/4 cup ricotta cheese (full-fat)
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 refrigerated pie dough
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1/3 cup Mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).
  2. Roll out the refrigerated pie dough on a kitchen surface dusted with flour until it’s about 12 inches in diameter.
  3. Transfer the pie crust to a 9-inch pie tin, pressing it down along the bottom and sides. Trim off any of the excess. Using a fork, crimp the edges and prick the bottom of the crust several times.
  4. Par-bake the crust for 15 minutes. Remove.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. Add the milk, salt, Mozzarella cheese, and baby spinach.
  6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, ricotta, and Parmesan.
  7. Transfer the egg mixture into the pie crust. Drop spoonfuls of the cottage cheese mixture, then sprinkle the cherry tomatoes.
  8. Bake the quiche for 45 minutes, or until a fork comes out clean in the center.
  9. Remove the quiche from the oven and let it sit for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cheese for creaminess.
  • Make sure to par-bake the crust to avoid sogginess.
