Instructions

Heat a non-stick frying pan and add the olive oil. Stir fry the onions and pepper until they start to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook for about a minute. Season well with salt and pepper or any other seasonings of your choice. A pinch of herbs de Provence or oregano works well here too.
Add the spinach leaves and a lid to the pan. This will create steam which will wilt the spinach.
Once the spinach has wilted and everything has cooked down a little, remove it from the heat.
Place the tortilla into a small oven dish that is sprayed or lined with baking paper. Add the filling and spread it over the tortilla.
In a bowl crack the eggs and give them a whisk, Add the cottage cheese and herbs. Season well with salt and pepper and mix to combine.
Pour the mixture over the filling in the tortilla. Top with the grated tofu (or cheese), and grated Parmesan.
Place the quiche in the air fryer that has been preheated to 180C and bake for 20 minutes until set and golden brown.
