Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. If you have a frozen pie crust set it out to thaw. Gather all your ingredients. You will need a bowl and a fork/whisk for mixing. Crack all six eggs into the bowl. Add the cottage cheese, milk, salt, pepper, spices (chive and tomato for us).

Begin by mixing your eggs, milk, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, spices (again this can vary based on your preferences). Also regarding spices, our love for chive powder might overwhelm you - again - determine your amount of spices based on your preferences! Once you have mixed all of this set aside.

Chop up your meat of choice and your cheese of choice. If you are using basil, chop that up as finely as you like. We like our basil in big slices as you'll see in our video, but some people prefer tiny little bites - do what works for you. Mix your meat, cheese and basil in a separate bowl. Finally, grab a cookie sheet and if possible cover it with parchment paper. If your quiche overflows a bit the parchment paper will save you later in the clean up process! Set your premade pie crust on the parchment paper. Add the meat,cheese, basil mix and spread it out thoroughly and evenly. Next, slowly pour the egg mixture on top of the meat/cheese/basil mix. Take your time pouring so that is sinks into the pie pan and doesn't overflow onto the cookie sheet.

Bake your quiche for approximately 35 to 40 minutes. Keep an eye on it and check it using the toothpick method. Simply poke a toothpick in the middle of the quiche and if it comes out clean your quiche is done. It should look puffy and a bit golden brown. Pull out of the oven and let it cool once it's done cooking.
