Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 6 large eggs
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 cup spinach, chopped
- 0.5 cups red bell pepper, diced
- 0.25 cups green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and cottage cheese until smooth.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
Stir in the chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, and chopped green onions, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set. A knife inserted into the center should come out clean.
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes before cutting into portions.
Serve warm and enjoy your Cottage Cheese Delight Breakfast Bake!
