Description
A protein-packed baked egg dish that’s crustless and light, perfect for breakfast or lunch.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese (small-curd recommended)
- 1 cup spinach (fresh, chopped, or frozen and well-drained)
- 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup onion, diced
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar recommended)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing the pan
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or an oven-safe skillet with cooking spray or a thin film of oil.
- In a large bowl, whisk 4 eggs with cottage cheese until well blended and slightly frothy.
- Stir in spinach, bell pepper, onion, and shredded cheese. Season with salt and pepper; mix until evenly combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the top.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- Let cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze up to 2 months. Make sure to drain frozen spinach well to avoid a watery quiche.
