Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Low-fat or regular for creaminess
  • 6 large Eggs The base for structural integrity
  • 1 cup Mixed Vegetables Bell peppers, spinach, onions for nutrition
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances overall flavors
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper Adds a subtle kick
  • 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder A hint of aromatic flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder Complements the vegetables
  • 1 tablespoon Olive Oil For greasing the dish and added flavor
  • 1/4 cup Shredded Cheese Optional for an indulgent finish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C)—the perfect temperature for a light bake.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are frothy and smooth.
  3. Stir in the cottage cheese, mixed vegetables, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder until well blended.
  4. Grease a baking dish (a standard 9x9 inch will work perfectly) with olive oil for easy release.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, ensuring even distribution.
  6. If desired, top with shredded cheese for an extra touch of indulgence.
Baking
  1. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden and slightly puffed.
  2. Allow to cool for a few minutes, then slice into squares and serve warm.

Notes

Enhance nutritional value by adding chia or flax seeds and fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro. Serve with a light salad or whole grain toast for a satisfying meal.
