Ingredients: 20cm deep cake tin 300g cottage cheese (full-fat) 100ml almond milk (unsweetened) 5 medium eggs 100g courgette (grated and squeezed to remove excess moisture) 10g fresh dill, chopped 100g cooked salmon (flaked) Black pepper & salt Zest of 1 lemon 4 sheets filo pastry, cut in half Olive oil spray 50g grated cheddar cheese Method: Preheat your oven to 160°C fan. In a blender or food processor, blend the cottage cheese with the almond milk until smooth. Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and whisk until fully combined.

Cut the filo sheets in half. Lightly spray a deep round baking tin with olive oil. Layer the filo sheets in the tin, spraying each sheet lightly with oil as you go. Overlap the filo sheets to cover the bottom and sides, creating a sturdy crust. Pour the salmon and courgette mixture into the prepared filo crust. Tuck the edges of the filo inwards to create a neat edge (rustic is fine!). Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top. Place the quiche in the preheated oven and bake for 60 minutes, or until the filling is set and golden. It will continue to firm up as it cools. Allow the quiche to cool slightly before serving to ensure it’s fully set and easier to slice. Benefits for Gut Health This recipe is packed...
