This Cottage Cheese Crustless Quiche is a delicious, low-carb alternative to traditional quiche recipes, featuring a creamy blend of eggs and whole milk cottage cheese baked to golden perfection. It’s perfect for a wholesome breakfast, brunch, or light dinner, with the option to add your favorite vegetables or meats for extra flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk cottage cheese
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Cheese and Fillings

  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (your choice)
  • Optional: Chopped vegetables or meats (up to 1 cup total)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking your quiche evenly.
  2. Prepare baking dish: Lightly spray a 9-inch baking dish with oil to prevent the quiche from sticking and to ensure easy removal after baking.
  3. Blend base ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, whole milk cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined, creating a creamy base for the quiche.
  4. Add cheese and fillings: Stir the grated cheese and any optional chopped vegetables or meats into the blended egg mixture. This adds texture and flavor to your crustless quiche.
  5. Bake the quiche: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the quiche is set and has a golden brown top.
  6. Cool and serve: Remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. This rest time helps the quiche to firm up and makes it easier to cut.

Notes

  • You can customize the quiche by adding your favorite vegetables such as spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers, or meats like cooked bacon or ham.
  • For a lighter option, substitute the grated cheese with a lower-fat variety or reduce the amount used.
  • Ensure the quiche is fully set before removing from the oven by gently shaking the baking dish; the center should not jiggle significantly.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • This recipe is naturally low-carb and gluten-free when using gluten-free ingredients for fillings.
