Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth and slightly frothy.

3. 3

   Stir in the vegetables and optional proteins until evenly distributed. The mixture should be colorful with visible pieces of spinach, peppers, and mushrooms.

4. 4

   Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly on top.

5. 5

   Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set but slightly jiggly. A toothpick inserted should come out mostly clean.

6. 6

   Let the egg bake cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. This helps it firm up and makes serving easier.

7. 7

   Serve warm, straight from the dish, or slice into squares for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
