    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375° F. Spray a 9 inch pie plate with cooking oil and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, sun dried tomatoes, and broccoli to the skillet. Season with the spices, salt and pepper and sauté for 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables have softened. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the vegetables cool while you prepare the filling.
  3. In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, milk and shredded cheese until the eggs are completely broken up and combined with the other ingredients. Pour in the vegetables and stir together.
  4. Pour the quiche filling into the prepared pie plate and bake for 45-55 minutes or until it's set. Test it by sticking a knife into the center and if it comes out clean it's ready. Let the quiche cool for several minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Leftovers may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
