As we get into November and the holidays, do you find that most social events center around food and eating? If you want a lighter option for brunch, lunch or dinner to relieve your heavy belly, this quiche recipe from Blue Flame Kitchen may be exactly what you’re looking for. Quiche is a breeze to put together when you bake the filling in a baking dish rather than a pastry crust. This cheesy ham and egg pie is versatile and can be made with a variety of vegetables or cheeses. Serve with a small side salad to complete your meal.
Ingredients:
• 4 large eggs (I use eggbeaters)
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
• 2 cups cottage cheese (I used low-fat)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 cup diced cooked ham
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced green onions
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. Whisk together eggs, flour and pepper in a bowl. Stir in cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, ham and green onions.
3. Pour mixture into a greased 8 inch square or round baking dish.
4. Bake, uncovered, until a knife inserted in center comes out clean, about 50 minutes.
5. Let stand for 15 minutes before serving.
