Description

A simple and satisfying high-protein breakfast or brunch dish, featuring fluffy eggs baked with creamy cottage cheese and fresh vegetables.


Ingredients

Scale

6 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup spinach, chopped
1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional: fresh chives or parsley for garnish


Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8-inch or similar-sized baking dish with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, crack the 6 large eggs. Add the cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, a pinch of salt, and a dash of pepper. Whisk everything together until the ingredients are well combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3: Gently fold the chopped spinach and diced bell pepper into the egg mixture. Then, add half of your shredded cheese, mixing until evenly distributed.
Step 4: Pour the entire egg and cottage cheese mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
Step 5: Evenly sprinkle the remaining shredded cheese over the top of the egg mixture. This will create a beautiful golden crust when baked.
Step 6: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are completely set and the top is golden brown and bubbly. The center should no longer be jiggly.
Step 7: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. This helps the eggs set further and makes for easier slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley if desired, then slice and serve warm. Enjoy!

Notes

For an extra savory kick, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture. This recipe is also perfect for making ahead for a quick grab-and-go breakfast during busy weekdays.
