Mediterranean Quiche

Directions

1. Rinse the potatoes then add to a microwave-safe bowl, cover, and cook on steam setting until the potatoes are fork tender, about 7 minutes. Remove from the microwave and cool the potatoes for 5 minutes.
2. When potatoes have cooled, toss with the avocado oil, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4  tsp pepper until coated.
3. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line the bottom of a springform pan with parchment paper and drop in the potatoes.
4. Using the bottom of a flat cup, smash the potatoes down into the bottom of the pan and up the sides to form a crust.
5. Place the crust in the oven and bake until the edges start to get crispy, about 15 minutes.
6. Meanwhile, whisk the eggs, 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, garlic powder, and cottage cheese until well combined. Stir in the remaining ingredients and set aside.
7. When the crust is done, remove from the oven and pour in the egg mixture. Return the pan to the oven, reduce temperature to 375 degrees, and continue to bake 30-35 minutes until eggs are set and the top is slightly golden.
8. Remove from the oven and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm.
