Description

Easy quiche that doesn’t use cream and can be adapted to any taste with different meat, cheese and vegetable combinations.

Ingredients

  • 1 whole Refrigerated Pillsbury Pie Crust
  • 2 cups Freshly Grated Cheese (swiss, Cheddar Or Whatever You Like)
  • 4 teaspoons Flour
  • 1 cup Cubed, Cooked Ham
  • 6 whole Eggs
  • 1 cup Milk
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Dried Ground Mustard

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F).

Let the rolled pie crust sit on the counter for 15 minutes. Once room temp unroll it and put in a deep dish pie pan.

Mix the cheese and flour together and place in bottom of pie. Top with the meat.

In a bowl combine the rest of the ingredients whisk until blended well. Pour on top of the meat.

Bake for 60 minutes at 400 degrees. Then, remove from the oven and let it sit on counter until cooled and enjoy!

You can use any kind of cheese and meat that you like…if you would like to add vegetables you can do that too. The base recipe really makes a delicious moist quiche that requires no cream. The secret is the cottage cheese and you won’t even know it’s in there!!!

This is the only quiche recipe I have ever used and love it! I add finely chopped and cooked spinach, mushrooms and onions. Or I have added sun dried tomatoes! Yum!

I made this quiche rather quickly the other night and here are some things to think about: I didn’t do deep dish, but I was making two, so I just added more to each ingredient and eyeballed it. DO NOT DOUBLE if using regular pie pans. Although it ran over a little on each, once it began to set, it quit. The quiche was delicious. The cottage cheese was not noticed and the fact that it didn’t have cream made me think it was a “healthy” alternative! I will be making many more!
