Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cottage cheese (about 450 g)
  • 1 cup chopped spinach (about 30 g)
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (about 150 g)
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (about 180 g)
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions (about 75 g)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (optional) (about 5060 g)
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or herbs of your choice

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish (8×8 inch or similar) with a light coating of oil or nonstick spray.
  2. Combine 2 cups cottage cheese, 1 cup chopped spinach, 1 cup diced bell peppers, 1 cup diced tomatoes, 1/2 cup chopped onions, and 1/2 cup shredded cheese (if using) in a large mixing bowl. Stir gently to mix.
  3. Beat the 2 eggs in a separate bowl until slightly frothy. Add the eggs to the cottage cheese and veggie mixture and stir until evenly combined.
  4. Season the bowl with salt, pepper, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (or your chosen herbs). Adjust seasonings to taste.
  5. Transfer the combined mixture into the greased baking dish and spread into an even layer. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until set and lightly golden on top.
  6. Cool slightly (5–10 minutes) before slicing into portions and serving.

Notes

For a creamier texture, use full-fat cottage cheese. This recipe is versatile and can adapt to the vegetables you have on hand.
