Crustless Quiche with Beef Leeks and Sweet Potato

Instructions:

1. In a blender, combine cottage cheese and eggs, blending until the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
2. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) or gas mark 4.
3. Spray a frying pan with cooking oil spray and place it over medium-high heat.
4. Add the red onion and chopped lean beef to the pan and sauté until they turn lightly golden.
5. Introduce the leeks and sweet potato (or butternut squash) into the pan, along with a dash of salt, black pepper, and a pinch of sweet paprika. Continue to sauté for a few more minutes.
6. Transfer the sauteed ingredients to an oven-safe dish or quiche dish, spreading them out evenly.
7. Pour the cottage cheese and egg mixture over the top, and use a spoon to gently stir the vegetables so that the egg mixture settles evenly at the bottom.
8. Sprinkle the cheddar cheese and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until the cheese has a golden hue, and the quiche is thoroughly cooked.
9. Allow the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing.
10. Enjoy your delicious, crustless quiche!

TIPS:

1. Use Lean Beef: Opt for lean beef with all the fat removed. This will reduce the overall fat content of the quiche while still adding a rich flavor.
2. Uniform Slicing: When chopping the sweet potato, try to make the slices as uniform as possible. This will ensure even cooking throughout the quiche.
3. Proper Baking Time: Keep a close eye on the quiche while it’s baking. The exact baking time may vary depending on your oven, so aim for the golden top and a fully set center.
4. Cool Before Slicing: Allowing the quiche to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing will make it easier to cut and serve without falling apart.
5. Serve with a Side: Consider serving the quiche with a side salad or some fresh fruit to complete the meal.
6. This quiche can be prepared in advance and reheated when needed. It’s a great option for meal prepping or for serving at brunch gatherings.
7. Storage: Store any leftover quiche in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be reheated in the microwave or oven when you’re ready to enjoy it again.
8. By following these tips, you can enhance the flavor and presentation of your crustless quiche. Enjoy your delicious homemade meal!
