Ingredients

  • 1 (17.5 ounce package) frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 (cup) fresh spinach, cleaned and stemmed
  • 4 (tablespoon) water
  • 1/4 (teaspoon) ground nutmeg
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 (tablespoon) butter
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 (cup) cottage cheese
  • 1 (cup) shredded Cheddar cheese
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tomatoes, thinly sliced

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Spray a quiche dish with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Line the quiche dish with puff pastry, press the pastry firmly in place and trim away any excess pastry. Poke with a fork, and bake for 10 minutes.
  3. In a large skillet place spinach and 4 tablespoons water. Heat the mixture over medium and cover the skillet. Cook until the spinach is done, approximately 2 minutes then drain well. Add nutmeg to the spinach and puree the mixture.
  4. In a large skillet, saute the onion with butter or margarine to taste. Saute until the onions are soft and transparent.
  5. In a medium-size mixing bowl, beat eggs. Stir in the cottage cheese, spinach, and 1/2 cup of cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Arrange onions along the bottom of the pastry-lined quiche dish. Arrange the tomatoes over the onions. Pour the egg-mixture over the vegetables.
  6. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the quiche has set in the middle. Serve hot or cold, your choice!

    This is very good! Loved the onion and tomato added on the bottom. Next time I plan on adding some ham or something like that since we aren't vegetarians, but delicious just the same!

    I usually make my quiche with ham AND crispy bacon. I put the bacon in the bottom and layer the ham with the cheese.

    This is absolutely delicious and easy to make! I followed the recipe and thought it had a lot of flavor. I have made it twice-- the second time I didn't have tomatoes and it was still just as good!
