Ingredients:
6 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese you prefer)
1/2 cup chopped spinach (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup diced bell peppers (red or green)
1/4 cup diced onions
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for greasing the pan)
Instructions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Veggies:
If using frozen spinach, thaw and drain it well to remove excess moisture. Chop the spinach if necessary.
Dice the bell peppers and onions.
Mix Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten.
Add the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, and onions.
Season with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything until well combined.
Prepare Baking Dish:
Grease a baking dish (about 8×8 inches) with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking.
Bake:
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the egg bake is set in the center and lightly golden on top.
Cool and Serve:
Let the egg bake cool for a few minutes before slicing. It can be served warm or at room temperature.
