My husband loooooves quiches. He could eat them four days a week. I could not however, but with quiches you can add whatever veggies or cheese you want and it make a different meal each time. I found an awesome recipe for a low Glycemic index quiche and I make it all the time! I have also made this quiche gluten free and meat free. I try to go meatless at least one day a week and quiches lend themselves to this. Don't get me wrong, I will sometimes add meat but this is a healthy meatless meal. This is also an easy make ahead meal for those busy work weeks.
Here is what you need:
1 pie crust ( If you use gluten free crust, they are smaller, so you will need to buy two crusts)
1 cup of cottage cheese
1 cup of shredded cheese ( I like to use swiss, cheddar, or blends)
1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, grated
4 eggs, beaten

| Crust, mushrooms, cheese, eggs, cottage cheese, and spinach |
Optional
Veggies (spinach, mushrooms, onions, and anything that sounds good.)
Meat (bacon, crab, sausage, etc.)
Here is what to do
- Bake the pie crust according to the directions on the package. Don't forget to poke holes in the crust so it doesn't bubble. It usually takes about 10-15 min to cook the crust.
- Mix all ingredients together.
3. Bake at 350* for 45-50 minutes.
4. Let cool for 10 minutes and enjoy! (If you want to save this for a work night let it cool and wrap it up and just reheat in the oven.)
