Short Description

This healthy crustless WW quiche is soft, fluffy, and packed with colorful vegetables. It’s naturally low in carbohydrates while providing plenty of satisfying protein. Perfect for breakfast, meal prep, or a quick healthy lunch.

📝 Ingredients

6 large eggs
1 cup fat-free cottage cheese (blended if you prefer a smoother texture)
2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
½ cup onion, diced
½ cup bell pepper, diced
¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon salt (optional)
Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a 9-inch pie dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and sauté the mushrooms and onions for 5 minutes until softened and most of their moisture has evaporated.
Stir in the spinach and cook for 1 minute, just until wilted. Remove from the heat.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, almond milk, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and salt until smooth.
Fold the cooked vegetables and diced bell pepper into the egg mixture until evenly combined.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and gently smooth the top.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
The quiche is done when a knife inserted in the center comes out clean and the edges are lightly browned.
Let the quiche rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing to help it hold its shape.

High-protein cooking tip: Avoid overbaking, as gentle cooking keeps the eggs soft and preserves the creamy texture.
