Lowfat Quiche

1 uncooked pie crust
(see blog if you need a recipe for pie crust)
3/4 cup milk
3 eggs
1 egg white
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1 heaping cup cheese (pepperjack or cheddar)
1 pkg. knox gelatin
1/2 cup diced spinach (optional)

With an immersion blender, beat eggs and milk until frothy.
Stir in cottage cheese and 1 cup pepper jack cheese
Sprinkle diced spinach on bottom of crust, then egg mixture,
Sprinkle the top with salt, pepper and a little chilli powder.
Bake at 375 for 45-50 minutes, until middle is set.

  I added jalapenos and some diced red pepper  to bump the heat up a bit more.
I also like to add a bit of cheddar cheese as I feel it browns so nicely. So add some to your one cup of pepper jack. I know a decent cook would not put a package of gelatin in there, but when I tried it without it didn't hold up as well.  By eliminating the yolk and taking out some of the fat, it needed something to firm it up.
