Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups low-fat or 2% cottage cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/4 cup green onions, sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8×8-inch baking dish thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well combined and slightly frothy. Stir in the cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is uniform.
- Fold in the chopped spinach, diced red bell peppers, and green onions into the egg and cottage cheese mixture. Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese and stir gently. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese over the top to create a golden, bubbly crust.
- Place the dish on the center rack of the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes. You will know it is done when the edges are golden brown and the center is set and no longer jiggles. Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for at least 5 to 10 minutes before slicing. This resting time allows the proteins to set, ensuring clean cuts and a better texture.
