Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or a baking dish of similar size with cooking spray or butter.
Heat the olive oil in a pan on a medium heat and gently cook the red onion rings for 5 minutes until soft and slightly golden.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until well blended and smooth.
Add the defrosted spinach, shredded cheddar cheese, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to the bowl. Stir everything together until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the greased pie dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the cooked red onion rings on top.
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 45-50 minutes, or until the quiche is set and the top is lightly golden brown.
Once baked, remove the quiche from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Enjoy the crustless cottage cheese quiche warm or at room temperature. It pairs well with a fresh salad or some roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
