Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

10 large eggs
2 cups low-fat cottage cheese (2% milkfat)
0.5 cup liquid egg whites
1 cup fresh baby spinach, finely chopped
0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon kosher salt
0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and thoroughly coat a 9×13 inch rimmed sheet pan or glass baking dish with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Combine Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine the eggs, low-fat cottage cheese, liquid egg whites, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper for a smooth, well-seasoned mixture.
Blend Mixture: Process the mixture on medium speed for 15-20 seconds until the cottage cheese curds are fully emulsified and the mixture becomes aerated and light in texture.
Add Spinach: Gently stir in the finely chopped baby spinach by hand to evenly distribute the greens throughout the egg mixture.
Pour and Spread: Pour the blended egg mixture into the prepared sheet pan, ensuring the liquid reaches all corners for even baking.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 160°F and the center is set with no jiggle.
Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the dish to rest for 5 minutes to set fully, then cut into 6 equal rectangular portions and serve.

Notes

Ensure the internal temperature reaches 160°F for food safety when baking eggs.
Use a high-speed blender to achieve a smooth, aerated texture.
Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated gently.
Substitute fresh spinach with other leafy greens like kale or Swiss chard for variation.
Non-stick spray helps with easy clean-up and prevents sticking.
