Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup packed baby spinach, chopped
  • 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced yellow onion
  • 1/2 cup cooked turkey sausage, crumbled (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9-inch square baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth. Whisk in flour and baking powder, then stir in cheddar.
  3. Fold in spinach, bell pepper, onion, and sausage (if using) until evenly mixed. Pour the batter into the prepared dish.
  4. Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until puffed, golden, and the center feels set with a slight jiggle. Let cool 5 minutes before slicing.
  5. Slice into squares and serve warm.

Notes

For a make-ahead option, assemble the unbaked casserole, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Bake straight from the fridge the next morning, adding 5 to 10 minutes to the time listed.
