Ingredients
- 3 large 10" tortillas whole wheat, white or gluten-free
- 7 large eggs
- 3/4 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- 1 large bell pepper finely chopped
- 1/2 cup red onion finely chopped
- 1/2 cup cheese like sharp cheddar, Swiss or Gruyere grated
- Salt to taste
- Ground black pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 F. Line deep pie dish or 8x11 baking dish with parchment paper or spray very well with cooking spray. Place 3 tortillas in a pie dish, overlapping each other and forming tall edges.
- Crack the eggs, add cottage cheese and small dollops of pesto and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Whisk with a fork.
- Top evenly with bell pepper, onion and cheese. Give a few stirs to combine.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes or until the middle is set, check by inserting a knife until it comes out clean. If there is a bit of the liquid on top, it will solidify as quiche is cooling down.
- Remove from the oven and let cool down for 30 minutes. Then cut with a knife and enjoy!
