Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 18 large eggs
- 1 cup 2% cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese (yellow)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
Vegetables
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 1/2 cup small diced red bell pepper
- 1/4 cup chopped chives
Other
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a half sheet pan (12×17 inches) with parchment paper and spray it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Egg Mixture: In a high-powered blender, combine the 18 large eggs, 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 cup grated sharp cheddar, salt, black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and hot sauce. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Add Vegetables: Pour the blended egg mixture into a large bowl and gently fold in the chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, and chopped chives to distribute the vegetables evenly without overmixing.
- Pour into Pan: Pour the prepared egg mixture evenly onto the lined and greased sheet pan, spreading it out with a spatula for an even layer.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until the eggs are fully set and firm to the touch.
- Cool and Slice: Remove the pan from the oven and let the eggs cool for a few minutes to set further. Then slice the baked eggs into 12 equal squares for serving.
- Serve: Serve the sheet pan eggs warm, either paired with fresh fruit and bacon or layered on English muffins with bacon to make a delicious breakfast sandwich.
Notes
- Use a high-powered blender for the smoothest egg mixture texture.
- You can substitute the spinach and bell pepper for other vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini if preferred.
- Adjust the hot sauce quantity to control the spice level.
- Make sure to let the eggs cool slightly before slicing to avoid crumbling.
- This recipe can be prepared ahead and refrigerated, then reheated gently in the oven or microwave.
