How to make Crustless Quiche with Tomatoes and Spinach:
Preheat your oven to 325°F and lightly grease a 9-inch pie or quiche pan.
Pre-cook the frozen spinach and then run under cold water to cool it down. Squeeze and squeeze and squeeze some more to get all the liquid out of the spinach. You'll get a nice hand work out :-).
Next, sauté the red onion, green onions and garlic in a bit of olive oil.
Combine 4 beaten eggs, 2 cups cottage cheese, 2 cups shredded cheddar cheese, the onion and the spinach together in a large bowl.
Then pour the egg mixture into the prepared quiche pan and top with sliced tomatoes.
Bake the crustless quiche uncovered about 45 minutes. Remove it from the oven and sprinkle with 1/4 cup crushed seasoned croutons (or use garlic croutons, yum).
Return to oven and bake another 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set.
Let stand 15 minutes then slice to serve.

What makes a quiche rubbery?
The number one reason a quiche may be rubbery is from using too many eggs. However, using too few eggs will leave your quiche runny and it won't set. If you remember the ratio of 1 large egg to 1/2 cup dairy this will ensure you won't end up with a rubbery quiche.
