Description

This Crustless Chili Quiche is a vibrant, protein-packed meal that skips the pastry for a lighter, flavorful experience. Combining the richness of eggs and cottage cheese with the zesty kick of green chiles and roasted red peppers, this dish delivers a wonderful balance of creamy texture and spicy warmth. It&# 226;€™s an excellent choice for busy weeknights or as a make-ahead lunch option. The addition of Monterey Jack and Parmesan cheeses adds a savory depth, while Dijon mustard provides a subtle tang. Simple to assemble and requiring minimal hands-on time, this quiche is a comforting yet sophisticated way to enjoy Mexican-inspired flavors without the heaviness of a traditional crust.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray a 9-inch pie plate or shallow baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs.
  4. Whisk in the flour, melted margarine, Dijon mustard, salt, and red pepper sauce until smooth.
  5. Stir in the nonfat cottage cheese, shredded Monterey Jack cheese, chopped green chiles, and drained roasted red peppers.
  6. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared pie plate.
  7. Sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese.
  8. Bake for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is golden brown.
  9. Allow the quiche to stand for 10 minutes before slicing into wedges.
