Ingredients
- 1 cup small broccoli florets
- 4 large eggs
- 4 large egg whites
- ¼ cup water
- 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground pepper
- ½ cup grated Cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Light coat a 9-inch pie dish with cooking spray.
- Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 1 minute. Drain in a colander and rinse with very cold water or immediately plunge into a bowl of ice water. Arrange the broccoli in the bottom of the pie dish.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, egg whites, water, cottage cheese, thyme, salt and pepper. Whisk vigorously to break up the cottage cheese.
- Pour the egg mixture over the broccoli in the pie dish. Top with the Cheddar cheese.
- Bake until the egg is just set and a small, sharp knife inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Let the quiche rest for 5 minutes, then cut into 6 wedges. Serve.
