# Components:

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

12 - Pinch of chili flakes (optional)

→ Garnish

13 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives or parsley, chopped

# Directions:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet (approximately 13x9 inches) 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 overworking 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 to 25 minutes, or until the eggs are just set in the center and lightly golden around the edges.
07 - Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into squares and garnish with fresh chives or parsley. Serve warm or cool.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The cottage cheese creates these incredible creamy pockets throughout the eggs while baking
  • You can prep six servings at once and breakfast is basically sorted for the whole week
  • The veggies keep things light but the protein keeps you full until lunch
02 -
  • Dont skip the cooling time—the eggs need those 5 minutes to set properly or they will be impossible to cut cleanly
  • Overbaking will make the eggs rubbery, so pull them out when the center is just barely set
  • The cottage cheese curds will mostly disappear into the eggs, creating these amazing creamy pockets
03 -
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet without fail, or the egg mixture will slide right off into your oven
  • Let the eggs come to room temperature for about 15 minutes before baking if they have been cold in the fridge
