Ingredients  

  • 8 slices Bacon, Chopped
  • 1 Small Shallot, Finely Chopped
  • 8 Large Eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups Full-Fat Cottage Cheese
  • 1/2 cup Milk
  • 2 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1/8 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1 1/2 cups Gruyere Cheese, Shredded
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese, Grated
  • 2 tbsp Fresh Chives, Chopped

Equipment

  • blender

Instructions 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch deep-dish pie plate.
  • Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 8 minutes. Transfer it to a paper towel-lined plate, leaving about 1 tablespoon of drippings in the pan. Add the shallot and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until soft.
  • Add the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, flour, salt, pepper and nutmeg to a blender. Blend until completely smooth. Blending the cottage cheese is what gives this quiche its silky, custard-like texture.
  • Scatter the bacon, shallot and gruyere evenly over the bottom of the pie plate. Pour the egg mixture over the top, then sprinkle with parmesan and chives.
  • Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the quiche is puffed and golden and the center only jiggles slightly when you move the dish.
  • Let the quiche rest for 10 minutes before slicing so it sets into clean, creamy wedges.
