• 1 cup Spinach, fresh and chopped
• 1 small Onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 1 9-inch Pre-made whole wheat pie crust

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Place the pre-made pie crust in a 9-inch pie dish, pressing it firmly into the bottom and up the sides. Trim the edges if necessary. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent, about 3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the chopped spinach to the skillet with the onion and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, and milk until well combined.

Step 6

Stir in the cooked ham, shredded cheddar cheese, sautéed onion and spinach mixture, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pie crust. Spread it out evenly with a spatula if necessary.

Step 8

Place the quiche on a baking sheet and transfer it to the preheated oven. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the quiche is set in the center and the top is lightly golden.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Cut into 8 slices and serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your high protein classic quiche slice!
