  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup chopped vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, spinach, onions)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar, mozzarella)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried herbs (e.g., oregano, basil)
  • Cooking spray or oil for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and dried herbs in a large bowl until well combined.
  3. Gently stir in the chopped vegetables and shredded cheese until everything is mixed evenly.
  4. Grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a bit of oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the baking dish, spreading it evenly across the surface.
  6. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
  7. Cool slightly before slicing. You can serve it warm or store it in the fridge for meal prep later.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese before mixing.
  • Use fresh vegetables for better flavor.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
