Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese

4 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup milk (or any plant-based alternative)

1/4 cup chopped fresh spinach (or any green of choice)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh herbs for garnish (like chives or parsley)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until well blended.

      Incorporate the Eggs: Crack the eggs into the mixture and whisk gently until fully incorporated. The batter will be slightly lumpy; that’s perfectly fine!

        Add Cheese and Spinach: Fold in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped spinach. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.

          Prepare the Baking Dish: Grease a small baking dish (about 8x8 inches) with non-stick spray or a bit of butter. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly.

            Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.

              Cool and Serve: Remove the baked eggs from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs before cutting into squares to serve.

                Enjoy: Serve warm as a comforting breakfast, paired with toast or a side of fruit.
