Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 Large Tortillas
  • 6 Eggs
  • 200 g Cottage Cheese
  • 250 g Sausage or Turkey Bacon
  • 1 cup Chopped Spinach
  • 80 g Feta Cheese
  • 60 g Cheddar Cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease an 8-inch pie dish or similar oven-safe dish.
  • Place the tortillas into the pie dish, overlapping if needed, and press them down to form a crust. Set aside.
  • In a pan over medium heat, cook the sausage or turkey bacon until browned and cooked through. Remove from heat and roughly chop if necessary.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and cottage cheese until well combined. Stir in the chopped spinach, cooked sausage or turkey bacon, and feta.
  • Pour the filling into the prepared tortilla crust, spreading it out evenly.
  • Top with grated cheddar.
  • Place in the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden.
  • Allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or let it cool completely and refrigerate for meal prep.

Notes

I like to slice this quiche into 4 to make a filling, high-protein meal. You can cut smaller slices if you prefer.
 
TIPS & NOTES:
  • Make it gluten-free: Simply use gluten-free tortillas!
  • Dairy-free option: Swap cottage cheese and cheeses for your favorite dairy-free alternatives.
  • Protein swap: Sausage and turkey bacon both work great, or use chopped cooked chicken or a veggie protein for a meat-free version.
  • Veggie boost: Add mushrooms, bell peppers, or cherry tomatoes for extra nutrients and color.
  • Tortilla tip: Lightly warm the tortillas before pressing into the dish so they’re more flexible and don’t tear.
 
 
MEASUREMENTS:
I always recommend using a kitchen weighing scale and using weighted measurements. This will result in a more accurate process and your quiche will come out perfectly.
