Ingredients

Scale
  • 240 g cottage cheese (use lactose-free if needed)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 50 g finely grated Parmesan cheese (substitute nutritional yeast for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely sliced (substitute with green onion if desired)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (use minced fresh garlic as an alternative, adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked paprika can be used for a deeper flavor)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup diced bell peppers (drain excess moisture if using jarred or frozen)

  2. Process cottage cheese in a food processor for approximately 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, then gently fold in the blended cottage cheese, Parmesan, chives, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until thoroughly combined.
  4. Fold in bell peppers, spinach, and sun-dried tomatoes if using, ensuring ingredients are evenly distributed.
  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread evenly with a spatula.
  6. Bake for 15–17 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
