Ingredients
Scale
- 12 large eggs
- 2 cups (16 ounces) full-fat cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 medium green bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red and green bell peppers and chopped onion. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes. Add the chopped spinach and cook for an additional 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well beaten. Add the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
- Fold the sautéed vegetables into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the egg bake is set in the center and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
- Remove from the oven and allow the egg bake to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
Notes
- This recipe can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days, making it a great option for meal prep.
- You can add other veggies such as mushrooms or zucchini to the egg bake for extra flavor.
