Red Pepper and Bacon Quiche

Yield: 6 SLICES

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour 10 minutes

Total Time: 1 hour 30 minutes

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.
