Main Ingredients
- 2 cups creamy cottage cheese
- 6 large farm-fresh eggs
- 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese adds rich, nutty flavor
- 1/2 cup milk enhances tenderness
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder aromatic seasoning

Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with a light coating of olive oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack open the six eggs and beat them until fully combined.
- Add the cottage cheese into the egg mixture and stir until evenly incorporated.
- Pour in the milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper, mixing everything together until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese and chopped bell pepper, ensuring even distribution.
- Add the chopped green onions and mix gently without breaking them up too much.
- Drizzle olive oil over the mixture and stir to combine.
- Pour the entire mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Baking
- Place the baking dish into the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes.
- Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
- Once fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
Best if allowed to cool slightly before slicing. Use room temperature ingredients for a smoother blend.
