This hearty breakfast quiche is a comforting crowd-pleaser that balances the smokiness of diced ham with the fresh bite of scallions and pickled jalape&# 195;±os. The custard is enriched with creamed cottage cheese for a tender texture and a double dose of shredded cheddar and Jack cheese for a satisfying melt-in-your-mouth richness. It holds together beautifully thanks to a light binding of flour and baking powder, making it easy to slice and serve. Perfect for weekend brunches or meal-prepping lunch portions, this dish offers a warm, savory experience. Serve it hot from the oven with dollops of sour cream, fresh salsa, and extra jalapeños for those who like a spicy kick. It is simple enough for weeknight dinners yet impressive enough for guests.

Blend the mixture gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
