Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray
8 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup cottage cheese (2% or full-fat)
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
1/2 cup yellow onion, finely diced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375
Whisk eggs with garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl
Blend in cottage cheese until smooth, then stir in Parmesan cheese
Spread mixture evenly into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish
Top with chopped spinach and diced yellow onion
Bake for 35 minutes or until edges are golden and center is slightly jiggly
Allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing into 6 portions
Notes
For greener meal prep, store cooled slices in an airtight container for up to 3 days
Use fresh Parmesan for better meltability
Kale substituting for spinach requires slightly more mass (4 cups)
Serving with a dollop of Greek yogurt enhances creaminess without altering texture
