Ingredients
Scale:
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ cup cold unsalted butter, diced
1 teaspoon salt
3 to 4 tablespoons cold water
1 cup cottage cheese
3 large eggs
1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
1 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella)
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon black pepper
Salt to taste
Extra shredded cheese for topping (optional)
Chopped fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the cold, diced butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Gradually add cold water until the dough comes together. Form into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to fit a 9-inch pie dish. Transfer to the dish, pressing gently into the bottom and up the sides.
Prick the bottom of the crust with a fork and bake for about 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, milk, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt until smooth. Stir in the spinach and shredded cheese.
Pour the filling into the pre-baked crust, spreading evenly. Sprinkle extra cheese on top if desired.
Bake for 35-40 minutes until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
