Ingredients
-
½ cup all-purpose flour
-
1 teaspoon baking powder
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
12 eggs
-
1 (8 ounce) package shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
-
2 cups small curd cottage cheese
-
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, and drained
-
2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chiles
-
½ cup melted butter
-
2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts
Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl; set aside.
-
Beat eggs in a mixing bowl until smooth. Whisk in flour mixture until no lumps remain. Stir in the Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, cottage cheese, spinach, green chiles, and melted butter until evenly blended. Divide mixture between pie crusts.
-
Bake quiches in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until quiches are lightly browned, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.
Tips
You can add other meats or veggies to this recipe to suit your taste. Sometimes I add a small package of chopped ham to the recipe.
This quiche can be baked with or without pie shells.
