Onion Cheese Quiche

One simple recipe with two equally delicious variations. I love that there is no hard cheese in it whatsoever and no heavy cream. Low fat healthful tasty filling and easy. Literally everything you want in a recipe. And it freezes well too.

YIELDS 2 QUICHES

6–8 SERVINGS EACH

  • 2 onions diced
  • 14 cup oil
  • 6 eggs
  • pinch thyme
  • pinch basil
  • salt to taste
  • 2.2 lbs (1 kg) low-fat cottage cheese (I used 3%)
  • 212 cups rice crispies brown rice preferred
  • 1/3 cup spelt flour

Sauté onions over medium heat for at least 20 minutes until golden brown stirring often. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).Transfer onions to a large bowl. Add eggs one at a time and mix until well incorporated. Add seasoning and cheese and mix altogether. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Divide mixture in half. To one half add the rice crispies. To the other half add the spelt flour. This way you have both varieties to sample at the same time. (If you decide to make just one version of the recipe double either the rice crispies or the spelt flour and omit the other one.)
