This 30-minute crustless quiche is the ultimate easy dinner idea for busy nights. Made with cottage cheese, eggs, and simple ingredients, it's a quick, healthy meal the whole family will…

Ingredients

• 6 large eggs
• 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup milk (any kind)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
• 1/4 cup chopped green onions
• Optional: 1/2 cup cooked bacon or ham

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar-sized baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese.

Step 3

Fold in the diced bell peppers and green onions. If using bacon or ham, add it now. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish.

Step 4

Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 5

Let the quiche cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with extra green onions if desired. Enjoy!

For best results

• For a creamier texture, use full-fat cottage cheese and let it come to room temperature before mixing.
• Don't overbake – the quiche should still be slightly jiggly in the center when you remove it; it will continue to set as it cools.
• Feel free to swap in any veggies you have on hand: spinach, mushrooms, or zucchini work great.

Variations

• Mediterranean: Add sun-dried tomatoes, olives, and feta cheese instead of cheddar.
• Southwest: Use pepper jack cheese, add corn and black beans, and top with salsa.
• Meat Lover's: Add cooked sausage, bacon, and ham for extra protein.
