  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
