Ingredients
6 Large eggs.
3 Tbsp. Quark or Cottage Cheese)
1 Pack smoked ham slices (rolled up and sliced into ribbons)
100g 50% reduced-fat cheddar. (3 ½ Syns – 25g if not used as a HexA choice)
1 Medium onion (Finely sliced).
½ Red pepper (sliced into julienne ribbons)
1 Garlic clove (crushed).
50ml Tap water.
One-Cal spray olive oil.
1 Tsp. salt.
½ Tsp. Ground black pepper
Directions
- Pre-heat the oven to 170C and line your baking tray or quiche dish with parchment paper and set aside.
- Bring a frying pan or skillet to medium heat, spray with One-Cal spray olive oil and add the onions, allow to cook out for 2 minutes. (If the pan becomes dry, use a little water to help soften the onions).
- Add the red pepper ribbons, crushed garlic, a pinch of salt and continue to cook out until the onions become soft and translucent. Set aside.
- Sprinkle 1/3 of the reduced-fat cheddar cheese over the base of the baking tray/quiche dish.
- Layer the onions and red pepper mix evenly across the cheddar, sprinkle with 1/3 of the cheddar cheese and top with the smoked ham ribbons.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, 3 tablespoons of quark (or cottage cheese), a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined.
- Ladle or gently pour the mixture into the tray/quiche dish and top with the remaining cheddar cheese.
- Place into the middle shelf of the oven and cook for 25 minutes or until the top of the quiche has become golden in colour.Â
Notes
- NOTE: If using cottage cheese, I like to blitz it first with a couple of eggs until smooth before adding to the mixing bowl.
- This dish will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
