Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (any color)
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • ½ cup chopped onions
  • ½ cup cooked bacon or sausage (optional)
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp garlic powder
  • Non-stick spray or butter (for greasing the baking dish)

Method
 

  1. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 9×13-inch baking pan by coating it lightly with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. In a spacious bowl, break the eggs and whisk them until smooth and uniform.
  3. Blend the cottage cheese into the eggs until the mixture is consistent.
  4. Incorporate the shredded cheddar cheese, diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, onions, and cooked bacon or sausage if you chose to add it. Season everything with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Stir thoroughly so all elements are well mixed.
  5. Transfer the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Place the dish in the oven and bake for around 35 to 40 minutes, checking for a golden top and firm center; use a knife test to ensure it comes out clean.
  7. Take the casserole out of the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes before you cut into slices and serve.

Notes

  • Feel free to personalize this egg bake with other vegetables or proteins like mushrooms, zucchini, or ham. For a lighter option, try using low-fat cottage cheese and reduce the cheddar. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat as needed. You can also freeze portions individually for convenient meal prep.
