Ingredients

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 12 eggs
  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded Colby-Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 cups small curd cottage cheese
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed, and drained
  • 2 (4 ounce) cans chopped green chiles
  • ½ cup melted butter
  • 2 (9 inch) unbaked pie crusts

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Whisk flour, baking powder, and salt together in a small bowl; set aside.

Step 2
Beat eggs in a mixing bowl until smooth. Whisk in flour mixture until no lumps remain. Stir in the Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, cottage cheese, spinach, green chiles, and melted butter until evenly blended. Divide mixture between pie crusts.

Step 3
Bake quiches in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking until quiches are lightly browned, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.

Tips

You can add other meats or veggies to this recipe to suit your taste. Sometimes I add a small package of chopped ham to the recipe.
