Ingredients

Scale

Quiche Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 5 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9-inch pie pan thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray to ensure the quiche won’t stick.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, crumbled bacon, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions, and seasonings including garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute all components.
  3. Pour and Bake: Transfer the combined mixture into the greased pie pan, smoothing the top lightly. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The quiche is done when it has set in the middle and the top is slightly golden and no longer jiggles when gently shaken.
  4. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for about 15 minutes. This resting period makes it easier to slice and enhances the flavors. Serve warm or at room temperature for best taste.

Notes

  • For a crustless quiche, this recipe is perfect as is; however, you can add a pie crust if preferred.
  • Make sure to cook and crumble the bacon before mixing to avoid excess grease in the quiche.
  • Adjust seasoning as per taste, especially salt depending on the saltiness of your bacon and cheese.
  • It can be served with a light salad for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the microwave or oven.
