  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and mist a 9×9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until well combined. Then stir in the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, and diced onions evenly.
  3. Pour Mixture: Pour the prepared egg and cheese mixture into the sprayed baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  5. Store and Reheat: Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in a skillet or microwave before eating.

Notes

  • You may add up to 1 cup of cooked vegetables or cooked breakfast meats, such as crumbled cooked breakfast sausage, sautéed mushrooms, or bell peppers for added flavor and variety.
