Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese preferably low-fat or full-fat, depending on preference
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend
- 1/4 cup milk dairy or non-dairy
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs optional, such as chives, parsley, or dill
- 1/2 cup spinach fresh or frozen, thawed and drained
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers optional
Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully combined. Add the cottage cheese, shredded cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth.
Add Veggies:
- Stir in the spinach and bell peppers (if using). Make sure the veggies are evenly distributed in the mixture.
Transfer to Baking Dish:
- Pour the egg mixture into a greased baking dish (9x9-inch or similar).
Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top. You can check for doneness by inserting a knife into the center—if it comes out clean, it's ready.
Garnish and Serve:
- Let the baked eggs cool for a few minutes, then garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Slice and serve warm.
