Ingredients
– 1 frozen 9-inch pie crust
– 4 large eggs
– 3/4 cup full-fat cottage cheese
– 1/4 cup milk
– 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
– 1/4 teaspoon pepper
– 3 slices cooked bacon
– 2 scallions
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
1-First Step: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare your pie crust by blind baking it according to the package instructions. Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for an even cook.
2-Second Step: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 4 large eggs, 3/4 cup cottage cheese, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper until smooth and well combined.
3-Third Step: Stir in the chopped bacon, scallions, and shredded cheddar cheese, folding gently to distribute evenly throughout the mixture.
4-Fourth Step: Pour the mixture into the prepared pie crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula. If you’re adapting for dietary needs, this is the time to make swaps.
5-Fifth Step: Bake the quiche uncovered for 40-45 minutes until the edges turn golden and the center is mostly set with a slight jiggle.
6-Final Step: Let the quiche cool at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
