Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 6 large eggs
  • 8 oz full-fat cottage cheese
  • ½ cup milk (dairy or almond milk)

Cheese & Vegetables

  • ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 cup baby spinach, torn

Seasoning & Cooking

  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray or oil (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oven and Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8×8 inch glass baking dish with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Eggs and Cottage Cheese: Crack the 6 large eggs into the greased dish and add the 8 oz of full-fat cottage cheese. Whisk them together until they are mostly combined, ensuring a smooth base for your bake.
  3. Add Remaining Ingredients: Pour in ½ cup of milk and add the ½ cup crumbled feta cheese along with the torn baby spinach. Season with ¼ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Whisk the mixture again until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
  4. Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish uncovered into the preheated oven. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean and the top is lightly golden.
  5. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the bake to cool for about 10 minutes. Once cooled slightly, slice into squares and serve warm. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious cottage cheese egg bake!

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk for dairy milk to make the dish dairy-friendly or lighter.
  • For added flavor, consider mixing in herbs like dill or chives.
  • This bake can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated for a quick meal.
  • Use fresh spinach for the best texture, but frozen spinach can be used if drained thoroughly.
  • Ensure the baking dish is well greased to avoid sticking.
