This is absolutely wonderful, even with low fat cottage cheese and low fat cheese.

This is a delicious quiche and made a great light dinner. I've been making more meatless meals lately and this one is a keeper. I used a combination of cheddar and monterey jack cheese and also threw in a small handful of parmesan. After reading the review by Flower7, I also added a tsp. of Italian seasoning and an extra egg. Mine took nearly an hour to bake, but it was worth the wait. Thanks for posting this great recipe.

Oh my is this delicious!!! I have never been a huge quiche fan but this is wonderful! My only complaint is that it seemed to not have much egg - I might add another one or two next time. I used lowfat cottage cheese without any problem. I also added about 1 tsp of Italian seasoning to the filling and I made homemade breadcrumbs - E-Z Seasoned Bread Crumbs - for the top. Thanks so much for sharing windhorse23!!

My family also has this recipe but it's slightly different: the cottage cheese is onion-chive variety and there is no fresh onion. The 1/2 cup of grated cheese is swiss. Instead of two eggs there are four eggs plus 1/3 cup half and half.
