Imagine a sunrise on your plate: a golden‑browned bake that’s creamy, cheesy, and packed with garden‑fresh vegetables. This Creamy Cottage Cheese and Veggie Bake delivers that comforting breakfast feeling without the heaviness of a traditional casserole.

The process is straightforward: sauté the vegetables, blend a simple cottage‑cheese mixture, combine everything in a baking dish, and finish with a quick oven bake until the top turns beautifully golden.

Preparing the Vegetables

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). While the oven warms, wash and dry all vegetables. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the diced red bell pepper and sliced zucchini. Sauté for 3‑4 minutes until they soften slightly, then stir in the spinach and green onions, cooking just until the spinach wilts. This brief sauté preserves the vegetables’ bright colors and prevents excess moisture from making the bake soggy.
