Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Low-fat cottage cheese
- 0.5 cup Shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup Diced cooked turkey bacon
- 0.5 cup Chopped fresh spinach
- 0.25 cup Chopped onion
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly spray a standard 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well blended.
Add the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, diced turkey bacon, chopped spinach, and chopped onion to the beaten eggs. Mix well to combine.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
Evenly distribute the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the quiches are set and lightly golden on top.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the quiches to cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin using a small offset spatula or knife.
Serve immediately, or let them cool completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
