Recipe Card
Red Pepper and Bacon Quiche
Savour the flavours of our Red Pepper and Bacon Quiche with its crispy potato hash brown crust, a perfect match for smoky bacon and sweet red peppers.
Ingredients
- 800g (28oz) of russet or floury potatoes, peeled and grated (squeezed of excess moisture)
- ⅔ cup (150g) of fat free cottage cheese
- 5 large eggs, beaten
- 5 lean bacon medallions, cooked and chopped
- 1 red pepper, diced
- 1 onion, quartered and sliced thinly
- 90g (3oz) of strong cheddar, grated
- Salt and Black Pepper
- low calorie spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan), 200°C, or 400°F (Gas Mark 6).
- Line a 8-inch springform pan with parchment paper to prevent any potential leakage, then lightly grease the parchment with low-calorie spray. If you don't have a springform pan, you can use a larger, shallower pan, but keep in mind that the crust may not be as tall.
- Season grated potato with salt and black pepper. Press an even layer of grated potato into the bottom and sides of the pan to create a crust, then generously spray with oil.
- Bake the potato crust for approximately 30 minutes until lightly golden.
- Meanwhile, in a frying pan over medium-high heat, spray oil and cook the onion until softened. Add the red pepper and stir-fry for 5 more minutes, adding more oil if needed. Stir in the bacon and set aside.
- Blend cottage cheese and eggs until smooth, then season with salt and pepper.
- Once the potato crust is ready, fill it with the ham (or bacon), onion, and peppers. Pour over the egg and cottage cheese mixture and top with cheddar cheese.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 160°C (fan), 180°C, or 350°F (Gas Mark 4), then bake the quiche for approximately 30-40 minutes until lightly golden and set.
- Allow the quiche to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with your choice of sides.
