Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional – cheddar, mozzarella, or dairy-free)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs until smooth.
  3. Mix in cottage cheese, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
  4. Stir in spinach, bell pepper, and green onions.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with optional shredded cheese.
  6. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are lightly golden.
  7. Let cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the best texture and flavor.
  • Whisk the eggs thoroughly to create an airy consistency.
  • Do not overbake; check doneness by gently jiggling the dish.
  • Season generously, especially if skipping cheese.
  • Store slices in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
