Why This Recipe Works
- This crustless quiche is not only delicious, it's low carb, high protein and amazing for meal prep! The secret hidden ingredient is low-fat cottage cheese and adds extra creaminess and protein without extra fat! If you're not a fan of cottage cheese don't worry, you won't even know it's in there!

How To Make Crustless Quiche With Asparagus
This recipe is easy to make and only takes a few steps and it's so worth it I promise! You'll pre-cook the asparagus first with shallots and fragrant fresh garlic. Then the eggs and cottage cheese get blended with a bit of half and half and dijon mustard. I used deli ham and simply chopped it. Once everything is assembled together, you'll bake the crustless quiche for about 30 minutes.

Tips & FAQs
- You can store the quiche in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat the leftovers in the microwave for an easy quick nutritious breakfast!
- I recommend to serve this dish with a crunchy green salad with a vinaigrette like my champagne vinaigrette. The crunch and acid will really balance it all together!
- Don't skip sautéing the asparagus with shallots and garlic! Not only delicious flavors will develop, it will also assure that the asparagus are cooked all the way!
