Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the quiche cooks evenly.
- Prepare the Tortillas: Lightly spray a pie dish or quiche dish with olive oil. Press each tortilla into the dish, overlapping them slightly to create a crust. This gives a beautiful, crispy base for your quiche.
- Sauté the Vegetables: In a skillet, heat a teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced bell peppers and spinach, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until they soften. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Mix the Filling: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese. Add the sautéed vegetables and half of the shredded cheese to this mixture. Stir until well combined.
- Assemble the Quiche: Pour the filling over the tortilla base in the pie dish. Spread it evenly, then sprinkle the remaining cheese on top.
- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden brown.
- Cool and Serve: Once cooked, allow the quiche to cool slightly for about 5 minutes before slicing. This helps the flavors settle.
Notes
Substitutions: Feel free to swap out the spinach and bell peppers for other veggies, such as zucchini or mushrooms, keeping it halal-friendly.
Timing: For perfectly cooked vegetables, ensure you sauté them just until tender; avoid overcooking, as they will cook further in the oven.
Avoiding Mistakes: If your quiche turns out watered down, make sure you thoroughly drain any frozen vegetables you use.
