- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 medium, diced red bell pepper
- 1 small, diced onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Crack the eggs into a large bowl. Add the egg whites and whisk until well combined.
Stir in the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and Parmesan cheese with the egg mixture.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and red bell pepper, and sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute.
Stir in the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the skillet over the sautéed vegetables.
Allow the edges of the frittata to set on the stovetop for about 3-4 minutes.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the frittata is puffed and golden, and the center is set.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, and enjoy your high protein cheese frittata.
