Equipment

Ingredients

12 Eggs
1 Onion diced
1 tbsp Garlic minced
24 oz Cottage cheese
1 Red pepper diced
1 Yellow pepper diced
5 oz Spinach
1/'2 cup Feta cheese
1 cup Cheddar shredded
3/4 tbsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black pepper
1/'4 tsp Red pepper flakes
1/2 cup Fresh basil chopped

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350 .
2. Lightly grease a baking dish.
3. Sauté the onion with garlic.
4. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, salt, and red pepper flakes. Then fold in the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, and feta cheese.
5. Transfer the onion to the dish and spread it evenly. Add diced red bell pepper and spinach. Sprinkle the dish with chopped basil.
6. Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
7. Bake until the center is set, and the top is lightly golden, for about 40-50 minutes. The bake should feel firm but still have a slight bounce in the middle.
8. Let it rest before slicing so it holds together beautifully. You’ll have a healthy cottage cheese egg bake that’s creamy inside, lightly golden outside, and incredibly easy to slice into squares for meal prep.
