Ingredients
- Olive oil or avocado oil cooking spray
- 6 small (5-inch) soft corn or 1 large flour tortilla
- 6 eggs
- ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cups fresh spinach, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove minced
- 12 fresh basil leaves, julienned and divided
- 1 roma tomato, sliced ¼ inch thick
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (or pepperjack!)
- flaky sea salt for topping
- Optional: your favorite hot sauce for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375ºF. Spray a 9-inch pie pan with cooking spray.
- Arrange the tortillas in the pie pan, overlapping them so that they fully cover the bottom of the pan and all the way up the side of the pan.
- In a medium size bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Stir in the chopped spinach, garlic and about 3/4th of the julienned basil, then pour the mixture into the pan on top of the tortillas. Arrange the tomato slices on top, then sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the surface.
- Bake for 30 minutes until the egg is fully set and no longer jiggly when you gently shake the pan. Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for 15 minutes. Garnish the cooled quiche with the remaining julienned basil and flaky salt, then use a sharp knife to cut it into 6 slices. Serve with hot sauce and/or avocado slices, if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftover slices of quiche in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- I love serving this with a simple green salad of mixed greens tossed in my Healthy Lemon Basil Vinaigrette.
