Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 8 eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¾ cup 2% or full-fat cottage cheese
  • ½ cup shredded or shaved Parmesan cheese

Vegetables

  • 3 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach
  • ½ cup finely diced yellow onion or green onions

Other

  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius). Lightly mist a 9×9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Eggs and Seasonings: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Cheeses and Vegetables: Stir in the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh spinach, and diced onions thoroughly into the egg mixture to ensure even distribution.
  4. Pour and Bake: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake in the preheated oven until the center is set and the top is lightly golden, approximately 30 to 35 minutes.
  5. Store and Reheat: Allow to cool slightly before serving. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual portions in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through.

Notes

  • You can substitute green onions for yellow onions to add a milder flavor.
  • Use either 2% or full-fat cottage cheese depending on your preference for creaminess and fat content.
  • For extra flavor, add herbs like parsley or chives.
  • This dish can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning for convenience.
  • Consider adding cooked bacon or sausage for a non-vegetarian variation.
