# What You'll Need:
→ Eggs & Dairy
01 - 10 large eggs
02 - 1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
03 - 1/4 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
→ Vegetables
04 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
05 - 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
06 - 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
07 - 1/2 cup zucchini, diced
08 - 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
→ Seasonings
09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
11 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
12 - Pinch of chili flakes (optional)
→ Garnish
13 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives or parsley, chopped
# How To Make:
01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet (approximately 13x9 inches) with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, and milk until smooth and slightly frothy.
03 - Stir in salt, pepper, and dried herbs until evenly distributed.
04 - Add tomatoes, spinach, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Mix gently to combine without crushing the vegetables.
05 - Pour the egg mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently tap the pan on the counter to settle the mixture and release any air bubbles.
06 - Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the eggs are just set in the center and lightly golden around the edges.
07 - Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into squares and garnish with fresh chives or parsley.
