Ingredients

  • 8 small yukon gold potatoes
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli
  • 1 cup shredded gouda
  • 1/3 cup 2% cottage cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • avocado oil spray
  • water for boiling potatoes

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Cut the potatoes in half or fourths, place in a large pot and cover with water. Boil for 15 minutes or until fork tender.
  • Drain the water and place the potatoes in a greased pie plate.
  • Use the bottom of a glass to smash the potatoes. Be sure to smash them against the side of the pan as well to form the walls of your crust.
  • Spritz with avocado oil spray and add a dash of salt and pepper. Bake for around 25 minutes or until your potatoes have started to brown.
  • While the potatoes are baking, crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and add in the milk, cottage cheese, salt and pepper. Whisk until combined.
  • Chop the broccoli into very small pieces and add them to the egg mixture along with 1 cup of freshly shredded gouda cheese.
  • Mix until combined and then pour into the pie crust. Add a little more cheese on top if desired.
  • Bake for 45 minutes or until the center is no longer jiggly.
