Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray, as needed
8 large eggs, room temperature
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon fine salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¾ cup cottage cheese (2% or full-fat)
½ cup parmesan cheese, shredded
3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
½ cup yellow onion, finely diced
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C)
Mist a 9×9 inch baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, crack eight eggs and beat until smooth.
In a second bowl, mix garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add dry mixture to beaten eggs, stirring until well combined.
Stir in cottage cheese until fully incorporated.
Pour egg mixture into the prepared dish.
Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top.
Evenly distribute spinach and onion over the surface.
Bake for 35 minutes or until the center is set and no liquid eggs remain.
Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into 6 portions and serving.
Notes
Full-fat cottage cheese and freshly grated parmesan yield the creamiest texture.
Substitute green onions for yellow onion if preferred.
The bake tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld overnight.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
