4. Add spinach to pan and cook until moisture has evaporated or about 3 minutes.
5. In a large bowl, whisk the feta, cheddar cheese, egg, egg whites, cottage cheese, cayenne, salt, and nutmeg.
6. Once the spinach and onions have cooled, add them to the bowl and mix well.

YUM! This is a must try for me, I know my family will love it, thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa! I'm Katie, Malia's cohostess for A Crafty Soiree. I think I fixed her link button code so it won't be giant sized! I'm definitely not an HTML expert, as shown by that little or should I say BIG glitch. I've got the code on my Crafty Soiree post, if you want to come by and snag it. Thanks for linking up, I'm sending a link to this to my mom. She'd love it, me too. Spinach and feta are great but we'd be the only ones in the family to like it so we'll have to have a mother daughter brunch and enjoy it together.
ReplyDeleteLooks great, we love spinach quiche and your light recipe sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great, I'm sure it was a big hit at your brunch!
ReplyDeletethe feta was such a great touch in your quiche! I am going to start making mini quiches for my girls this year using my muffin pans!
ReplyDeleteMy husband would love it because of the spinach. I will eat nearly anything with feta cheese... heck, even spinach. I would like to try this. It also appeals because it sounds so much healthier than some quiche recipes!
ReplyDeleteThis recipe looks great and is another way I could use coconut oil. :)
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious! I love quiche. Thanks for sharing on our So Long Summer Blog BBQ!

ReplyDeleteI ran the recipe through the Weight Watchers recipe builder and would love to share it through their e-tools. Would you mind if I did and used your photo? I'll give credit, of course.
