Cheddar Bacon Ranch Dinner Quiche

Quiche. It's not just for breakfast. We have quiche for dinner a couple of times a month because it's easy and super cheap. The recipe below is a combination of a couple of recipes I've found. You could omit the cheddar/bacon/ranch and add whatever else you have on hand. Vegetables, canned beans, and green chilies are good too. The possibilities are endless. We usually complete the brunch for dinner with muffins and fruit.
Ingredients
6 eggs
1/4 c flour
1/2 t. baking powder
1/4 c. butter, melted (sometimes I just use the bacon grease)
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup ranch dressing
4 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled

Beat eggs lightly in large bowl. Stir in flour and baking powder. Stir in melted butter (or bacon fat) and cottage cheese. Add shredded cheese, ranch dressing and bacon. Combine just until blended. Pour mixture in greased 9x9 baking dish or pie plate and bake at 400 for 15 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 and continue baking about 30 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve hot. Makes 6 servings.
