This dish was dubbed "egg soufflé." But this dish isn't as fussy as a soufflé—there's no need to whip egg whites, own a soufflé dish, or to worry about the dish falling. Think of this light and cheesy kosher dish as a cross between a frittata and a quiche, made sans crust, of course. Filled with mushrooms and topped with tomato rounds, it's perfect for a family brunch, served with fresh bagels and fruit salad. Or make for a late-night meal, when breakfast for dinner sounds ideal.
Ingredients
-
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1 dash freshly ground black pepper
-
6 large eggs
-
1 cup cottage cheese
-
2 cups grated cheddar cheese

4 tablespoons (2 ounces) unsalted butter, melted and cooled

Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Preheat the oven to 350 F / 180 C. Grease a 9 x 9 x 2-inch casserole dish or quiche dish.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
-
In another large bowl, beat the eggs.
-
Add the cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, melted butter, onion and mushrooms. Mix well.
-
Whisk in the flour mixture, mixing well until the flour is fully incorporated.
-
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish.
-
Arrange the tomato slices on top of the quiche and push them slightly into the surface. Sprinkle the quiche evenly with the parsley.
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until the quiche is set, the top is golden, and a tester inserted in the center comes out clean.
-
Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before slicing into wedges and serving.
-
Enjoy.
