Description

A creamy and rich quiche featuring grated zucchini, cottage cheese, and spices, perfect for breakfast or a light lunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups zucchini, grated
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella)
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Chopped herbs (e.g., parsley or chives) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Mix together the grated zucchini, cottage cheese, eggs, shredded cheese, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. Pour the mixture into a greased pie dish or baking pan.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the quiche is set and lightly golden on top.
  5. Let it cool slightly, garnish with herbs, and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For a firmer texture, let the grated zucchini sit for a few minutes to drain excess moisture. Pair with a light salad for a refreshing meal.
