# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch sheet pan with 1 tbsp olive oil, ensuring even coverage. This prepares your pan for the delicious Fluffy Sheet Pan Cottage Cheese Eggs | Meal Prep Perfect, preventing sticking and ensuring easy removal.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 12 large eggs, 2 cups 4% fat small curd cottage cheese, and 1/4 cup whole milk until well combined and slightly frothy. This creates the creamy, fluffy base for your Fluffy Sheet Pan Cottage Cheese Eggs | Meal Prep Perfect.
03 -
Stir in 1 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder, 1/4 tsp black pepper, and salt to taste into the egg mixture. If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle kick. Ensure seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the base.
04 -
Gently fold in 1 cup fresh spinach (roughly chopped), 1/2 cup red bell pepper (finely diced), 1/4 cup yellow onion (finely diced), and 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese. Mix until the vegetables and cheese are evenly dispersed throughout the egg mixture.
05 -
Pour the entire egg mixture evenly into the prepared 9x13 inch sheet pan. Bake for 25 minutes, or until the eggs are set, golden brown around the edges, and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
06 -
Remove the Fluffy Sheet Pan Cottage Cheese Eggs | Meal Prep Perfect from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into 6 equal servings. This resting time helps the eggs set further and makes for cleaner cuts, perfect for meal prepping.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra fluffiness, ensure your cottage cheese is small curd and don't overmix the eggs – just until combined.
02 -
Store cooled portions in airtight containers in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
03 -
Feel free to swap vegetables based on preference; broccoli, mushrooms, or green onions work wonderfully. Any shredded cheese can be used in place of cheddar.
04 -
Serve these eggs with a side of toast, avocado, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for a complete breakfast or brunch.
