Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease your chosen baking dishes.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs vigorously until frothy. Gently fold in the cottage cheese, shredded Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper, and fresh chives.
If using, gently fold in the finely diced bell peppers, chopped spinach, and drained, chopped sun-dried tomatoes until evenly distributed.
Carefully pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the prepared dishes, filling them about ¾ full.
For a custardy texture, place the filled dishes into a larger baking pan. Carefully pour hot water into the larger pan until it comes about halfway up the sides of the smaller dishes.
Bake in the preheated oven until the tops are lightly golden brown and the center appears set. Baking times vary: individual ramekins (25-30 min), 8×8-inch dish (35-45 min), muffin tin cups (20-25 min).
Remove from oven, and from the water bath if used. Let cool on a wire rack for 5-10 minutes before serving. Garnish with extra fresh chives or a pinch of paprika if desired.
