Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1/2 cup diced cooked ham
  • 1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease an 8x8-inch baking dish. Sauté onion and bell pepper in a skillet with a splash of oil over medium heat until softened, 4 to 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until frothy.
  3. Spread the sautéed vegetables in the dish, top with ham and spinach, then pour the egg mixture over. Sprinkle cheddar on top. Bake 35 to 40 minutes until the center is just set.
  4. Let the bake rest 10 minutes, then slice into 6 squares and serve warm.

Notes

If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil after 25 minutes. When baking a casserole that was assembled the night before and taken straight from the fridge, plan for an extra 5 to 10 minutes of bake time. Let the dish cool completely before storing leftovers.
