Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cups spinach, fresh
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9 inch or similar sized baking dish with some olive oil or cooking spray.
Heat olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes.
Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the onions and sauté for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until well combined.
Add the sautéed vegetables to the cheese and egg mixture, stirring gently until everything is evenly incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your low carb cottage cheese casserole!
