Ingredients

• 6 large eggs

• ¾ cup cottage cheese (2% preferred)

• ½ teaspoon kosher salt

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

• ¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

• ½ cup crumbled cooked beef

• 2 tablespoons green onion, diced

• Nonstick spray for greasing pie dish


Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Spray a 9- or 10-inch glass pie dish with nonstick spray.

3. Transfer mixture to a bowl. Stir in ½ cup cheddar, cooked beef, and green onions.

5. Bake for 25–28 minutes, until center is set and top is golden.

Notes

– You can substitute the beef with bacon, sausage, or make it vegetarian.

– Mozzarella, Swiss, or gruyere are delicious alternatives to cheddar.

– Store in fridge up to 4 days, or freeze slices individually.

– Reheat in microwave for 30–45 seconds, or oven at 325°F until warm.

– Add fresh spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra veggies.
