Ingredients
- 10 slices Lunch meat* Any variety
- 8 Eggs
- 1 cup Cottage cheese
- 2-3 cups Fresh Spinach
- 1/2 cup Onion thinly sliced
- 1 cup Red Bell Pepper thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp Butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- Shredded Cheese Optional
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Saute onions and bell peppers in butter until golden/caramelized. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
- Take a 9" glass pie pan (or similar oven-safe dish) and line it with lunch meat, overlap the edges to make sure that no glass is exposed. Bring the meat up to the edges to the top.
- In a large bowl, mix eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, and minced garlic.
- Fold in salad greens, onion, and red bell pepper.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pie pan.
Bake
- Bake for 35-40 minutes at 375°F or until the egg is cooked through. You can use a toothpick or wooden skewer to check. Insert it into the middle of the quiche and if it comes out clean it means the egg is cooked through.
- Enjoy! (Optional: you can top with shredded cheese!)
Notes
*Lunch meat slices can vary greatly in size. I used meat that was about 4" in diameter. If your slices are much larger you can use fewer slices!
You can add optional shredded cheese at the end.
