Description

This Cheesy Veggie Egg Bake is a delicious and wholesome breakfast or brunch option featuring a blend of eggs, creamy cottage cheese, sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, and fresh green onions. Baked to perfection, it’s a savory dish that’s easy to prepare and perfect for feeding a crowd or meal prepping.

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 12 eggs
  • 1½ cups cottage cheese
  • 4 green onions, diced
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Vegetables

  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1½ cups bell peppers, diced

Other

  • 1 Tbsp butter
  • Olive oil spray for the pan

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the egg mixture.
  2. Sauté Vegetables: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, then add sliced mushrooms and diced bell peppers. Season with salt and pepper and sauté until vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  3. Whisk Eggs: Crack the eggs into a large bowl and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
  4. Combine Ingredients: To the whisked eggs, add cottage cheese and the sautéed mushrooms and bell peppers. Stir well to combine all ingredients evenly.
  5. Add Green Onions and Season: Stir in the diced green onions and season the mixture with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly spray a 9×13 inch baking pan with olive oil spray to prevent sticking. Pour the egg and vegetable mixture into the pan, spreading it evenly.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 to 45 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden. If the top begins to brown too quickly, cover loosely with foil to prevent burning.
  8. Serve: Once baked, remove from oven and allow to cool slightly. Serve warm and enjoy your cheesy veggie egg bake!

  • You can substitute cottage cheese with ricotta or cream cheese for a different texture.
  • Add herbs like parsley or chives for extra freshness.
  • For a lower-fat option, use low-fat cottage cheese and reduce the butter amount.
