    Salmon Quiche

    1 large or 2 small cans of salmon
    1/3 cup milk
    2 eggs
    500g cottage cheese
    1 tsp dried basil
    1 tsp lemon juice
    1/2 tsp pepper
    1finely chopped onion
    1/2 cup bread crumbs

    Mix all in food processor or blender

    Pour into greased pie plate or pie shell

    If you using a pie shell, line it with one of the egg whites.

    Bake at 400 degrees F for 35-45 minutes or until centre is firm.


    Edit: I sometimes leave out the pie shell to cut back on the calories.

    add it to spag or your lasagna to replace ricotta cheese. Easy peasy pasta bake with spag, spag sauce, cottage cheese, meet of choice and low fat shredded mozz. Not too bad..and makes me feel like I'm cheating and my kids LOVE it.

    Also, I sometimes use it on perogies instead of cheese and sour cream. :bigsmile:

    I hope you did not get fat-free! Fat-free is nasty. Low-fat (1-2% is good.) Normally I eat it alone, or with fruit stirred in. I just stirred some into a home made taco salad to add a bit of creaminess and it worked out really well.

    I eat is with either cereal, fruit or vegetables. I would love to hear how people cook with it.

    Fruit: I usually have field berries (high vitamins, lower carbs, lots of fiber) and a few nuts
    Veggies: cucumber, cherry tomatoes, peppers with some hemp oil, and black pepper
    Cereal: with my Fiber 1 and maybe a banana

    Other options: add a table spoon of cocoa powder and stevia/sugar free syrup

    Just add some fresh fruit and enjoy! yum yum. Or use it in lasagna instead of ricotta.

    I smash boiled potatoes and put cottage cheese on top.

    Don't knock it till you've tried it. My dad was a chef and served this to us often. I've expanded it some. I sprinkle garlic powder on the potatoes and pepper on the cottage cheese.

    Just had this for lunch.

    I use it on top of a baked potato instead of the sour cream. Very good.

    Also, mix it with yogurt in the mornings -- LOVE it that way.

    Otherwise I just like it plain, or with sliced tomatoes from the garden this time of year.
