Ingredients
  

2 cups cottage cheese, drained

6 large eggs

1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (mix of red, green, and yellow)

1/2 cup diced onions

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/4 cup milk

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp paprika

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional, for a kick)

Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.

    Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Add the cottage cheese and mix thoroughly to create a smooth consistency.

      Add Seasonings: Stir in garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using) into the egg and cottage cheese mixture. Mix until all spices are evenly incorporated.

        Incorporate Vegetables and Cheese: Gently fold in the diced bell peppers, onions, chopped spinach, and shredded cheddar cheese. Ensure that the vegetables and cheese are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Pour Into Baking Dish: Carefully pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

            Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is golden. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

              Cool and Garnish: Once baked, remove from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped chives before slicing into squares.

                Serve: Enjoy your cottage cheese egg bake warm as a delicious breakfast or brunch option! It pairs well with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad.
