Yummy... Crustless spinach quiche. I used 1/2 cup of breakstones 2% cottage cheese because I have the little 4 pack, and shredded my own 55% less cheddar from trader joes. I skipped the oil and used a little Pam. 1/4 of pie dish, 202 calories, 8 fat, 7 carbs, 23.6 protein.

Ingredients
2 teaspoons canola oil
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
1 (10-ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
6 ounces Cabot Sharp Light Cheddar, grated (about 1 1/2 cups)
6 large egg whites
1 large egg
1/3 cup Cabot No Fat Cottage Cheese
1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Directions
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat 9-inch pie plate, preferably nonstick, with cooking spray; set aside.
In nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add onion and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, or until translucent. Add spinach and stir until moisture has evaporated, about 3 minutes longer.
Sprinkle cheese evenly in prepared pie plate. Top with spinach mixture.
In medium bowl, whisk together egg whites, egg, cottage cheese, red pepper, salt and nutmeg. Pour egg mixture evenly over spinach.
Bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until set. Let stand for 5 minutes, then cut into wedges and serve.

^^^ that! Lol. The cheese makes a good "crust" for this. And it still has all the quiche flavor. I'm in my last piece today. Going to make a red pepper, spinach and feta one next I think.

I found a recipe that uses sweet potatoes as crust and it's genius, lol. I'll have to try it out (maybe with just regular potatoes).

Thanks. I love trying and tweaking recipes. I'll keep posting if you keep making them. Lol

Let us know how that works if you try it. But, I don't think it needs it. The cheese makes a "crust".0 -
Thanks Melissa. Even my daughter who swore she wouldn't like it without the "crust" loved it!0
