Ingredientes

1 cup cottage cheese

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped (or ½ cup frozen, thawed and drained)

4 large eggs

½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

¼ cup milk (or cream for richer texture)

Instruções

Preheat the oven

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a 9-inch baking dish or pie pan.

Cook the vegetables

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.

Add chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes until soft.

Add garlic and spinach and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.

Mix the egg base

In a large bowl whisk together:

eggs

cottage cheese

milk

mozzarella

Parmesan

salt, pepper, and oregano

Combine

Stir the cooked spinach mixture into the egg mixture and mix well.

Bake

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Rest & serve

Let the quiche rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up.

Serving Ideas

Serve with:

Fresh tomato salad

Avocado slices

Light green salad

Whole-grain toast (optional)

Tips

Drain spinach well to avoid a watery quiche.

For extra flavor add feta cheese or cheddar.

You can add mushrooms, bell peppers, or cooked bacon.
