Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 8 eggs
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon fine salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¾ cup 2% or full-fat cottage cheese
  • ½ cup shredded or shaved Parmesan cheese

Vegetables

  • 3 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach
  • ½ cup finely diced yellow onion or green onions

Other

  • Nonstick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly mist a 9×9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined. Add the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh spinach, and diced onions, stirring until evenly mixed.
  3. Pour Mixture: Transfer the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
  5. Store and Reheat: Cover and store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until warm.

Notes

  • Use either yellow onions or green onions based on your preference.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese and Parmesan with plant-based alternatives.
  • Optional: Add herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
  • Check doneness by gently shaking the dish; the center should not be liquidy.
  • Ensure to grease the baking dish properly to make slicing and serving easier.
