Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese

6 large eggs

1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

1 medium bell pepper, diced (red or green)

1/2 cup onion, finely chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional for topping)

Fresh herbs for garnish (like chives or parsley)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

    Prepare the Veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the chopped onion and bell pepper for about 5-7 minutes until they are soft. Add the chopped spinach and cook for another 2 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.

      Mix the Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.

        Combine Ingredients: Fold in the sautéed vegetables and halved cherry tomatoes into the egg and cottage cheese mixture. Ensure the veggies are evenly distributed.

          Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 9x9-inch (or similar size) baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.

            Pour and Top: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish. If desired, sprinkle mozzarella cheese evenly over the top for a delicious cheesy crust.

              Bake the Casserole: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. You can check if it's done by inserting a toothpick; it should come out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Slice into squares, garnish with fresh herbs, and serve warm.
