Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 3 cups broccoli florets, chopped
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/2 cup chopped roasted red bell peppers
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup low fat cottage cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste, I used 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. And spray a 9 inch pie plate with cooking spray.
- Add the broccoli florets to a bowl with a tablespoon of water. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and poke a small slit in the plastic with a knife. Microwave for 2-3 minutes or until the broccoli is crisp-tender and bright green.
- Add the broccoli, roasted red peppers, green onions, and half of the gruyere cheese to the pie plate.
- In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, spices, salt and pepper, cottage cheese, and milk. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetable. If needed, spread out the cottage cheese with a rubber spatula.
- Top with the remaining gruyere and place it in the oven. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until the quiche browns and puffs, and the center is set.
