Ingredients:

Serving

1 9 inch frozen pie shell (may be substituted for fresh or homemade)
5 eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup fresh baby spinach
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup sliced white mushrooms in bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup chopped cooked ham in bite-sized pieces
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 tsp dried or fresh dill
1 tsp dijon or whole grain mustard
salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees F.
In a medium sized mixing bowl, Whisk eggs and whisk until yolks are broken then whisk in cottage cheese, dill, Dijon mustard, salt and pepper. Next, fold in the green onion, ham, mushrooms and HALF of the shredded cheese to the egg mixture.
Prepare the pie pan by spraying with a light coating of cooking spray then a dusting of flour. Line the bottom of the pie shell with a layer of freshly washed and dried chopped baby spinach leaves. Carefully pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the pie shell on top of the layer of spinach. Ensure that the mixture is spread evenly over the pie shell.
Sprinkle the top of the pie with the remaining shredded cheese and place quiche in the centre of the pre-heated oven. Cook quiche for 35-40 minutes depending on oven temperature and check it around 30 minutes. Quiche is cooked when egg mixture “puffs” up and the top is lightly browned and shredded cheese melted.
Test for doneness by poking the centre of the quiche with a toothpick or fork, ensuring egg mixture is no longer liquid. Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before serving. Serve the quiche on its own or accompanied with a small salad for dinner or fresh fruit at breakfast.
