6 large eggs
2 cups cottage cheese (preferably full-fat for creaminess)

1/2 cup diced bell peppers

1 teaspoon garlic powder (fresh garlic adds more punch!)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional, but oh-so-yummy)
Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Preheat your oven: Set it to 350°F (175°C). This makes sure your dish gets that perfect golden brown finish.
Prep your baking dish: Lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with cooking spray or a drizzle of olive oil.
Mix the eggs: In a large bowl, crack those eggs and whisk until they’re nicely beaten.
Add the cottage cheese: Gently fold in the cottage cheese into the eggs.
Add the cheese and veggies: Stir in the shredded cheese, chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, and green onions.
Add seasonings: Sprinkle in the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and oregano. Stir gently to combine.
Pour into the dish: Transfer the mixture into your prepared baking dish.
Bake: Let it bake for about 30-35 minutes, or until the edges are set, and the top is slightly golden.
Cool and serve: Once done, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing it into squares.
