Ingredients:

  • 6 large Eggs (room temperature)
  • 1 cup Full-fat Cottage Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp Cracked black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Ground nutmeg
  • 1 cup Fresh baby spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup Broccoli florets, steamed and chopped small
  • 1/2 cup Cooked ham, diced
  • 1 cup Sharp white cheddar, shredded
  • 2 Green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 9-inch glass pie dish or ceramic tart pan with butter or olive oil.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the 6 large eggs vigorously with the 1 cup of cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until the mixture is uniform and slightly aerated.
  3. Steam the 1 cup broccoli florets briefly until they turn vibrant green but still have a snap.
  4. Chop the 1 cup spinach and the steamed broccoli into small, uniform pieces to ensure even distribution.
  5. Layer the ham, broccoli, spinach, and half of the cheddar into the bottom of your prepared dish.
  6. Pour the egg mixture slowly over the fillings until the dish is nearly full.
  7. Top with the remaining cheddar and the sliced green onions for a pop of color.
  8. Bake for 35 minutes until the center is just set and the top is golden.
  9. Rest the quiche for 10 minutes before slicing until the custard firms up.
