  • 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened milk (any kind)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach or kale
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes (optional)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella (optional)
  • Fresh herbs like parsley or chives (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes for heat (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×9 or 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Stir in bell peppers, spinach, onion, cherry tomatoes, and shredded cheese (if using). Mix to combine.
  4. Transfer mixture to baking dish and bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and top is golden.
  5. Allow to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for the creamiest texture.
  • Drain excess water from veggies like spinach to prevent sogginess.
  • Don’t overbake—check at 35 minutes for doneness.
  • Let it cool slightly before slicing for best structure.
  • Great for meal prep—store in fridge up to 5 days or freeze slices for 2 months.
