  1. Super easy to make and so delicious!<br/><br/>I made my own whole wheat crust from another recipe on Food.com.<br/><br/>I used 6 oz of feta. It doesn't need nearly that much oil (i only eyeballed enough for sauteeing) and added two crushed garlic cloves in with the onions and spinach (i use garlic in everything!). I did use light cottage cheese, regular half and half, but lowered the half and half proportion down to a half cup and added a half cup (plus a little extra) of non-fat greek yogurt. I also used more dill than it called for...not sure exactly how much but probably about 1/4-1/2 tablespoon...but then again, I LOVE DILL! I also added pepper<br/><br/>Plan on making this again very soon!
     
  2. Yummy! I cut the salt to 1/2 tsp and the oil to 1 Tbsp. Also used fat free half-and-half, light cottage cheese, and goat's milk feta. This was wonderful though it was a little watery after baking (didn't affect the taste though and I just drained off the liquid and it wasn't a problem any more.) Thanks for the recipe!
     
  3. I have been using this recipe for the past 3 years or so, I am in love with it. I am a vegetarian and this quiche sounded amazing so I tried it and it was delicious. I make this all the time for Thanksgiving, Christmas, Potlucks, anywhere. I love how the cheeses are go well together. My favorite part is the dough, because the eggs and cheeses soak it up so well. The onions give it a kick and I can't believe I found this recipe.
     
  4. It would help if you used real measurements like cups and tsp and tbs instead of ounces of this and that. Some of us don't have or use scales to measure cooking ingredients. How many cups or fractions of is 4 oz cottage cheese or 1/4 lb of feta cheese??? How am I supposed to make it not knowing how much of each to add?
     
  5. Very tasty and easy to make. I made it without a crust. Was delicious. Thanks for posting.
