Share:
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
- 4 large eggs (See Note 1)
- 4 large egg whites
- ¼ cup cold water (See Note 2)
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
- Unroll the pie crust and place it in a 9-inch pie plate, pressing gently into the corners. If you like, crimp the edges.
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 1 minute. Drain in a colander and rinse with very cold water or immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water. Arrange the broccoli on the bottom of the pie crust.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, egg whites, water, cottage cheese, thyme, salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously to break up the cottage cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli in the pie dish. Top with the Cheddar cheese.
- Bake until the egg is just set and a small, sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Let the quiche rest for 5 minutes, then cut into 6 wedges. Serve.
Notes
- Note 1: If preferred, use 6 whole eggs instead of the 4 eggs and 4 egg whites.
- Note 2: If preferred, substitute with milk.
