Equipment

- Whisk or fork8x8-inch baking dish
- Measuring Cups and Spoons
- Non-stick cooking spray or butter
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat or low-fat, as preferred
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup diced green onions
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray or butter.
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Stir in the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar or mozzarella, green onions, salt, and pepper.
Add Optional Ingredients:
- If desired, fold in cooked bacon, sausage, or diced vegetables. Mix gently to distribute evenly.
Pour and Bake:
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set. Test with a toothpick; if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
Cool and Serve:
- Let the dish cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing into portions. Serve warm and enjoy!
