Ingredients
Scale
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped (can substitute with frozen spinach, thawed and drained)
1 cup cottage cheese (for a lighter option, consider substituting with Greek yogurt)
4 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a dairy-free alternative)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (fresh minced garlic works too)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil (coconut oil can be a flavorful alternative)
Optional: chopped onions or bell peppers for added flavor
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Step 2: In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until wilted.
Step 3: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Add the cottage cheese, sautéed spinach (and any other vegetables), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully incorporated.
Step 4: Grease a baking dish with non-stick spray or a little olive oil. Pour the egg and spinach mixture into the dish, spreading it evenly. Top with shredded cheese.
Step 5: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
Step 6: Once baked, allow your dish to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
