# What You Need:

→ Eggs & Dairy

01 - 10 large eggs
02 - 1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
03 - 1/4 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)

→ Vegetables

04 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
05 - 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
06 - 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
07 - 1/2 cup zucchini, diced
08 - 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

→ Seasonings

09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
11 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
12 - Pinch of chili flakes (optional)

→ Garnish

13 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives or parsley, chopped

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet (approximately 13x9 inches) with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, and milk until smooth and slightly frothy.
03 - Stir in salt, pepper, and dried herbs until evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture.
04 - Add cherry tomatoes, spinach, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Mix gently to combine all ingredients.
05 - Pour the egg mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently tap the pan on the counter to settle the mixture and release any air bubbles.
06 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the eggs are just set in the center and lightly golden around the edges.
07 - Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes to allow the eggs to firm slightly for easier slicing.
08 - Slice into squares, garnish with fresh chives or parsley, and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The cottage cheese makes these eggs incredibly fluffy while packing in 15 grams of protein per serving without any weird texture
  • You can cut everything up on Sunday and have breakfast ready for five straight days without touching another pan
02 -
  • The eggs will continue cooking slightly after you pull them from the oven so removing them when the center looks slightly underdone is actually perfect
  • Letting the mixture sit for about 10 minutes before baking helps the cottage cheese soften and blend better with the eggs
03 -
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet without fail because the egg mixture creates enough liquid to slide right off a flat one
  • Line your pan with parchment paper for the absolute easiest cleanup imaginable
