Ingredients
  

1 cup fresh cottage cheese

4 large eggs

1/2 cup baby spinach, chopped

1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced

1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh herbs (such as chives or parsley), for garnish

Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish (about 8x8 inches) with olive oil or cooking spray.

    Prepare the Vegetable Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped baby spinach, diced red bell pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and a pinch of salt and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

      Combine Eggs and Cottage Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten. Add the cottage cheese and stir until fully combined. The mixture should be creamy and well mixed.

        Incorporate the Veggies: Gently fold the vegetable mixture into the egg and cottage cheese blend. Make sure all the ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Add Cheese: Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese, reserving a small amount for topping if desired. This will add an extra gooey layer on top as it bakes.

            Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Sprinkle the reserved mozzarella cheese on top for a delicious cheesy crust.

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

                Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley before slicing into squares.

                  Serve: Enjoy your baked cottage cheese eggs warm, as a wholesome breakfast, a filling lunch, or a delightful snack!
