I made this recipe tonight for crustless, low carb quiche. I used mushrooms and onions instead of ham and broccoli and it was GREAT:

Someone posted a Philly Cheesesteak version of this a long time ago. Same egg base, but use roast beef (chopped), onions, peppers and velveta. It sounded so good but I forgot all about it till you posted this! I will have to print this out

Good looking out!

Thanks, I saved it!

Jackie, this sounds really good! Do you know if it comes out okay without the cottage cheese? Would it be too dry? I'm lactose intolerant now. I can tolerate some of the harder cheeses but not ricotta or cottage at all. This recipe sounds really good. I would eat it for Breakfast too! :-)

mnbsleeve - I read a few of the comments and it does seem that people left the cottage cheese out when they made their own versions of this recipe. I would say to go ahead and experiment. Since it's basically just eggs and filling, the worst case scenario is that you make a frittata.

Mnbsleeve, do you have lactaid cottage cheese in your area? I am lactose intolerant and its ZERO lactose! And its real cottage cheese with the medication already in it. Its a real lifesavor for we the intolerant of lactose.

I am going to try it this week.

be warned, the texture is more frittata than quiche, but it's pretty yummy.

I totally have to stay away from the recipe forum for awhile. Doing only liquids and reading this totally made me drool. I can't wait until I am able to eat something like this.

Sounds good! I'll have to make it sometime! Do you know if you can refrigerate it and re-heat it?

Thanks for sharing..I made this a couple of days ago and I love it!!! I used 6 eggs instead of the beaters and used bacon instead of ham and added a ton of veggies (steamed broccoli, mushrooms, peppers, onions) and I can't get enough of it...I've already had 6 meals from it and still have half left!! Thanks again!!
