Description

A nutritious and creamy egg bake packed with protein, perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 5 cups (150 grams) baby spinach, roughly chopped
  • 12 eggs
  • 1.5 cups low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly spray a 9″ x 13″ pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan. Add onions, mushrooms, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are lightly browned.
  3. Toss in the spinach, turn off heat, and toss until combined and spinach is slightly wilted.
  4. Spread the veggie mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Set aside.
  5. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  6. Pour the egg mixture over the veggies. Gently pull some of the veggies to the surface and evenly sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes or until the eggs are set through. Let rest for 15-25 minutes before cutting and serving.

Notes

Let the bake rest for easier slicing. Use fresh herbs to enhance flavor.
