Easy Spinach Swiss Quiche

Easy Spinach Swiss Quiche Recipe 

Among all the spinach quiches I've tried over the past years, this spinach swiss quiche French version remains my favorite. The mixture of fat-free sour cream, swiss cheese, and cottage cheese makes it so rich and tasteful. There’s also a little bit of spinach, which balances out all that richness and makes it a bit healthier and yummier.
