I made my first quiche today! I don’t do eggs.. I know I know, who doesn’t like eggs?? Unfortunately this girl. 🙁 I have tried and tried to acquire a taste and just cant seem to enjoy them. I hate it because my husband could live on eggs and the smell of them cooking drives me crazy, like I wish I could sink my teeth into them and enjoy every bite! 😉 Anyhow my dear husband requested a quiche, and although I have never made one before, who I am to disappoint.. so this spinach, mushroom and asiago cheese quiche was born.. I cant tell you on a personal note how it was, but I got two thumbs up from my egg loving husband! 🙂 It serves 8 at 6 smart points per serving.

- Salt & pepper
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F
- Roll out your pie crust and then place into a 9 inch pie dish and cut of any hanging over the edge, I made two small slits with a knife in the bottom of the crust to prevent air pockets.
- Cook in oven for 6 minutes then set aside.
- Chop up your onions, spinach and mushrooms and cook in a frying pan with some fat free cooking spray for approx. 5-7 minutes.
- Meanwhile in a bowl whisk your eggs with your cottage cheese, add your grated light cheese and some salt & pepper.
- Place your 1/4 cup of asiago cheese into the bottom of your pie crust.
- Top with your onion, mushroom and spinach mixture, then pour your egg mixture on top.
- Bake in oven for approx. 45 minutes, cut into 8 slices. 5pp per slice.

I just popped this in the oven and it smells AMAZING! I don’t like mushrooms, so I doubled up on the onions and added garlic.
Just a note though.. The instructions don’t mention when to add the milk, so I was stuck trying to whisk into the egg mixture after I already poured it on top of the veggies.
I can’t wait to eat this for breakfast this week!
Thanks for the heads up, I will look into that.. I hope you enjoy it 🙂
Can you make this without the crust?
Hi Nicole, yes I think you could
Can I swap the cottage cheese for something else?
Hi Rose, sorry for the late reply I am in the middle of moving/renovations.. You could use a sour cream maybe if that works?
Just made this. It is FABULOUS! Thanks so much for sharing!!
