Lower Fat and Calorie Ham and Cheese Quiche image

Surprisingly delicious recipe adapted from a Weight Watchers recipe. I bake a ham now and then and this is a great way to use some leftovers. Very creamy and sinful tasting. The cottage cheese sounded weird to me, but honestly my whole family loves this. My husband even takes a slice cold for breakfast. You can also make it with a bag of spinach instead of the ham.
