Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)

4 large eggs

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup bell pepper, diced (any color)

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese of your choice)

Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, e.g., parsley or chives)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. Whisk until smooth and well-blended.

      Gently fold in the chopped spinach, cherry tomatoes, and bell pepper until evenly distributed.

        Grease a baking dish with a little olive oil or cooking spray to prevent sticking.

          Pour the cottage cheese and egg mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

            Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.

              Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.

                Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.

                  Garnish with fresh herbs if desired, slice into squares, and serve warm.
