1 pie
- Serves:

ingredients
- 16 ounces cottage cheese (fat free to full fat, it all works)
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup shredded swiss cheese
- 6 slices vegetarian bacon (or regular)
- salt and pepper
- 1 pie crust
directions
- Cook "bacon" until crispy. Lay pie crust in pie pan and cover with swiss cheese. Crumble bacon on top. Beat eggs and then mix with cottage cheese. Pour over bacon and swiss in pie shell. Bake 40-50 minutes at 350°F Quiche will appear a tad liquidy (but not jiggly), but it's done and moisture will disappear after sitting to cool a bit.
- Alternative use 3 pieces of bacon in the quiche and keep 3 to crumble on top of quiche after removing from the oven.

Does the cottage cheese stay lumpy/chunky? Step-kid hates it but I'm thinking about blending it first to smooth it out. Can I sub cheddar cheese for swiss?

This quiche is wonderful. DH loved it even though I used veggie bacon and 1% cottage cheese making it a lot more low fat than most quiches. Made for Top Favorites of 2009 Cookbooks Tag Game.

Great flavor and so easy! I used fat free cottage cheese and canadian bacon. Thanks for a great recipe! -
As easy as the "quick-step" and such an thrill to pull this out of the oven, after so little effort. I made my crust, put the swiss cheese on bottom, used some bacon that I had fried this morning for breakfast, and thought I would add some asparagus that I needed to use up. Talk about getting a fork, and hiding in the closet eating it all. No, I didn't, but I sure wanted too! A great quiche, that men love too! Made for your win *Pets Forum Halloween* Novembre 2009 -
Made completely vegetarian with tomato, zucchini, onions, green peppers, asparagus and hash browns and kept the base the the same eggs, cottage cheese and swiss with salt and pepper and it was amazing!! It's so hard to fit uses for cottage cheese and this was way healthier than heavy whipping cream! Thanks so much we will use for the base of many quiches!! -
Delicious! I used 2% cottage cheese and pork bacon. I omitted the salt (personal preference) and added some chopped onion, since we love onion. Thanks for sharing!
