Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Nonstick cooking spray
  • 8 large 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
  • 3 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach
  • ½ cup finely diced yellow onion or green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly mist a 9×9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Add the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, and diced onions, stirring gently to evenly distribute all ingredients.
  3. Pour into Baking Dish: Transfer the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly to ensure consistent cooking.
  4. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is fully set and the edges are slightly golden.
  5. Serve and Store: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in a skillet or microwave as desired.

Notes

  • The cottage cheese adds creaminess and protein, but you can substitute with ricotta if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, add herbs like thyme or basil to the egg mixture.
  • You can swap spinach for kale or Swiss chard for a different vegetable twist.
  • Ensure the egg bake is fully set before removing from oven to avoid undercooked center.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer texture or 2% for a lighter version.
  • Leftovers reheat well and make great quick breakfasts throughout the week.
