# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a rimmed baking sheet (approximately 13x9 inches) with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, and milk until smooth and slightly frothy.
03 - Stir in salt, pepper, and dried herbs until evenly distributed.
04 - Add tomatoes, spinach, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Mix gently to combine without overworking the mixture.
05 - Pour the egg mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently tap the pan on the counter to settle the mixture and release any air bubbles.
06 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the eggs are just set in the center and lightly golden around the edges.
07 - Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing into squares.
08 - Sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Fifteen grams of protein per serving means youre actually satisfied until lunch
  • The entire weeks breakfast appears from your oven in under 40 minutes

02 -
  • Overbaking makes these rubbery, so pull them when the center still jiggles slightly
  • Cottage cheese curds will remain visible, creating texture rather than completely disappearing
