In a large bowl:
- Whisk the eggs
- Add the cottage cheese and milk
- Mix until smooth and creamy
The cottage cheese gives the quiche its rich texture while boosting protein content.
4️⃣ Add the Flavor
Stir in:
- Garlic powder
- A pinch of salt and black pepper (optional)
Then gently fold in:
- Chopped broccoli
- Shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Make sure everything is evenly distributed.
5️⃣ Bake
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Smooth the top with a spoon.
Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until:
- The center is set
- The top is lightly golden
- A knife inserted comes out clean
6️⃣ Rest and Serve
