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
- Prepare Oven and Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease 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 fully combined. Then fold in the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped spinach, and diced onions until evenly distributed.
- Pour Mixture Into Dish: Transfer the combined egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly for uniform cooking.
- Bake the Casserole: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Store and Reheat: Allow leftover egg bake to cool slightly, then cover and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat individual servings using a skillet or microwave before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute yellow onions with green onions for a milder flavor.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier texture, but 2% works well for a lighter option.
- For added flavor, consider adding herbs like parsley or chives.
- Check the bake towards the end of baking time to avoid overcooking.
- This bake pairs well with fresh fruit or a light salad for a balanced meal.
