Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Nonstick cooking spray
- 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
- 3 cups roughly chopped fresh spinach
- ½ cup finely diced yellow onion or green onions
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly mist a 9×9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and combined. Then gently fold in the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, and diced onions.
- Pour and Bake: Pour the combined egg mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish. Place it in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until the center is fully set and the edges are lightly golden.
- Cool and Store: Once baked, let the casserole cool slightly. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When ready to eat, reheat individual servings in a skillet or microwave until warmed through.
Notes
- This dish is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities.
- Using full-fat cottage cheese will create a richer, creamier texture, but 2% works well too.
- Fresh spinach can be substituted with frozen spinach (thawed and well-drained) if fresh is not available.
- For added flavor, consider incorporating herbs like chives or parsley.
- Leftovers reheat well in both a skillet over low heat or in short intervals in the microwave.
- This bake can be prepped the night before and baked in the morning for a quick breakfast.
