Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat)
  • 1/4 cup milk (any type – dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped spinach (fresh or frozen, drained)
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
  • Cooking spray or oil for greasing the pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
  2. Whisk Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs thoroughly. Add milk and whisk again.
  3. Add Cottage Cheese & Seasonings: Stir in cottage cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until creamy.
  4. Add Vegetables: Fold in spinach, bell peppers, and onion. Drain frozen spinach well before adding.
  5. Assemble: Pour egg mixture into the greased dish and top with shredded cheese.
  6. Bake: Bake 35–40 minutes, or until set and golden. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  7. Cool & Serve: Cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier result.
  • Drain frozen spinach well to avoid excess moisture.
  • Add herbs like parsley, dill, or chives for extra flavor.
  • Make it spicy by adding jalapeños or red pepper flakes.
  • Great for meal prep—stores up to 4 days or freezes up to 3 months.
