SPINACH AND ONION QUICHE

Category: Quiche and Savory Tarts / Tartlettes

3 tbsp butter
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
3-4 garlic cloves, minced
Pinch cayenne pepper, optional
1 (10 oz) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed (cooked to pkg then hand-squeezed to remove as much moisture as possible)
4 eggs, beaten
1 (16 oz) container creamed cottage cheese
6 green onions, chopped (use only the white parts)
2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided (can use more)
2 cups Tex-Mex blend shredded cheese
Seasoned salt or white salt and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Preheat oven to 325. Grease a 9 or 10-inch deep-dish pie plate or a quiche pan.

Heat butter in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add in yellow chopped onions and saute until softened, about 4 minutes. Add in garlic and cayenne pepper; cook for 2 minutes; transfer to a large bowl and cool for about 10 minutes.

Add in spinach, eggs, cottage cheese, green onions, 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese and 2 cups Tex-Mex shredded cheese; mix until well blended. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Transfer to greased pie plate or quiche dish.

Sprinkle the top with 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (can use a little more cheese if desired). Bake for about 50 minutes or until the eggs are set.
