Ingredients:

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup bell peppers, diced
  • 1/2 cup spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup onions, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Sauté the vegetables: In a medium oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and bell peppers, cooking until soft (about 3 minutes). Stir in the spinach and cook until wilted.
  3. Whisk the eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  4. Combine and cook: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the vegetables. Stir gently to evenly distribute the ingredients. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the edges start to set.
  5. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the frittata is fully set in the center. Optionally, sprinkle cheddar cheese on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
  6. Serve: Let the frittata cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
