Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 16 ounces of cottage cheese (fat-free, low-fat, or full-fat)
  • 1/3 CUP sliced green onions, green parts only
  • 1/2 CUP Trader Joe's Mexican light cheese blend or light shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • olive oil spray

Directions

  1. 1

    Crack the eggs and whisk them in a large bowl.

  2. 2

    Add the cottage cheese, the green parts of the sliced green onions, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the whisked eggs.

  3. 3

    Thoroughly mix all the ingredients. Customize by mixing in 1/4 to 1/2 cup of an add-in of your choice such as sautéed sliced mushrooms, diced tomatoes, cooked chopped sausage, cooked chopped bacon, or chopped fresh spinach.

  4. 4

    Lightly spray a 9x9 baking dish with olive oil. Then, pour the egg bake mixture into the baking dish. Bake it at 350°F for 50-60 minutes, or until done.

  5. 5

    Once cooked, carefully remove the egg bake from the oven and let it rest for about 20-30 minutes before slicing and serving. This allows the flavors to come together and for the cottage cheese to set.
