Spray over the top with a little more Frylight or Pam spray and add quiche dish to oven and bake until it has begun to go golden. Do not over bake, as it will cook for longer with the quiche mixture.

Spray a frying pan with Frylight or Pam spray and add the onion and bacon and fry until golden.
In a bowl, blend together the cottage cheese, eggs and mature cheddar.
