Categories     Breakfast

Time 45m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 eggs
1 cup fat-free cottage cheese
3/4 cup half-and-half
1 (7 ounce) can diced green chilies, drained
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Mexican cheese blend
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper (optional)
6 ounces spinach, wilted (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil, for sauteing Spinach (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Lightly spray or butter an 8-inch deep-dish pie plate or a 7" X11" casserole dish.
  • * Optional: in a saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons Olive Oil on medium-high heat, and add 6 oz. uncooked Spinach, and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk eggs until well blended.
  • Add half and half, cottage cheese, salt and pepper and mix well.

  • Cool for at least 5 minutes before cutting into wedges.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh spinach, green chiles, and other vegetables will give your quiche the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the spinach: Wilted spinach is fine, but overcooked spinach will be mushy and watery.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in quiche, so use a cheese that you love the taste of.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs: Overbeaten eggs will make your quiche tough.
  • Bake the quiche until the center is set: A toothpick inserted into the center of the quiche should come out clean when it is done.
  • Let the quiche cool before slicing: This will help to prevent the quiche from falling apart.

Conclusion:

Green chile spinach quiche is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's also a great way to use up leftover spinach and green chiles. With its creamy filling and flaky crust, this quiche is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
