  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese + additional for topping
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder

Vegetables

  • 1 cup yellow onion, diced
  • 1 cup bell peppers (mixed red, orange, yellow), diced
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup asparagus, chopped
  • 1 cup zucchini, diced

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully heat up while you prepare the egg bake mixture.
  2. Blend Egg Mixture: In a blender or food processor, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Blend for 30-40 seconds or until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
  3. Mix in Vegetables: Pour the blended egg mixture into a large mixing bowl. Add the diced onion, bell peppers, chopped spinach, asparagus, and zucchini. Stir everything together to distribute the vegetables evenly throughout.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish with a non-stick spray or butter. Transfer the vegetable and egg mixture into the dish, smoothing it out evenly. Sprinkle additional salt, pepper, and shredded cheddar cheese over the top to enhance flavor and color.
  5. Bake the Egg Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes. The egg bake should be firm and set in the middle, and the top should be slightly golden.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before cutting. Serve warm immediately, or store in an airtight container for meal prep convenience.

Notes

  • To check doneness, insert a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.
  • Feel free to swap or add other favorite veggies like mushrooms or tomatoes.
  • This bake can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving for best texture.
  • Use low-fat cheese or milk to reduce fat content if desired.
