Viral Tortilla Quiche with Cottage Cheese & Vegetables
Mar 28, 2025 12:53 PM
This is my healthy take on the viral tortilla quiche with cottage cheese recipe making the rounds on social media. It’s packed with vegetables and is high in protein from eggs, cottage cheese and tofu (or cheese). This easy quiche makes a delicious healthy lunch and can be prepped ahead. The tortilla acts as the ‘crust’ for the quiche which is much lighter.
In many recipes, vegetables are added to the tortilla raw, but I always prefer to sauté them lightly first. This method softens the onion and makes it so much more delicious.
To adapt this recipe, you can easily add your favourite vegetables to the mix—mushrooms work particularly well. For an added protein boost, consider including bacon, ham, or another meat of your choice.
