Emily's Low-fat Quiche

Quiche is my go to healthy dinner recipe when I haven't thawed any meat, or put much thought into dinner.  Quiche for dinner, you say?  We love it with a salad and fruit.  Lots of veggies and protein:)

Basic Low Fat Quiche Mixture – this, along with your additives will fill a 9” pie pan or quiche dish.  Do not use the quiche pan with the removable bottom as there is no crust and the liquids will leak out.  You don’t want to have to clean up that mess!

1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese
1 cup low fat yogurt
3 eggs
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 to 1 teaspoon salt, depending upon other ingredients
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon pepper

(I add 1/2 tsp baking powder and 1/4 cup wheat flour to this)

Additives

2 to 3 cups vegetables and/or meat such as cooked chicken, bacon, ham, etc.

(I usually do zuchinni, mushroom, onion, spinach- or whatever else I have around)
4 ounces cheese such as cheddar, swiss, pepperjack, provolone, feta, gouda, grated- if it is a salty cheese may use less salt

(usually do feta, and cheddar)
1 to 3 tablespoons of fresh herb or herb mixture such as parsley, basil, etc. (half this if using dry herbs), optional

(I usually add 1 tbsp parsley and some cilantro)

Bake at 350 for 40 - 50 minutes

Hope you enjoy
