# What You'll Need:

→ Eggs & Dairy

01 - 10 large eggs
02 - 1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
03 - 1/4 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)

→ Vegetables

04 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
05 - 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
06 - 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
07 - 1/2 cup zucchini, diced
08 - 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

→ Seasonings

09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
11 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
12 - pinch of chili flakes (optional)

→ Garnish

13 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives or parsley, chopped

# How To Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, and milk until smooth and slightly frothy.
03 - Stir in salt, pepper, and dried herbs until evenly distributed.
04 - Add tomatoes, spinach, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Mix gently to combine without crushing the vegetables.
05 - Pour the egg mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently tap the pan on the counter to settle the mixture and release any air bubbles.
06 - Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until eggs are just set in the center and lightly golden around the edges.
07 - Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to allow the eggs to set completely.
08 - Slice into squares, garnish with fresh chives or parsley, and serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Protein that keeps you full until lunch without the heaviness of a typical breakfast
  • Meal prep that actually tastes better after a day in the fridge
02 -
  • Overbaking creates a rubbery texture, so pull the pan from the oven while the center still has a slight wobble
  • The cottage cheese must be thoroughly blended or you will end up with white specks throughout
03 -
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet without warping or bulging in the middle for even cooking
  • Let the eggs come to room temperature before whisking for maximum volume
