This high-protein breakfast casserole with cottage cheese turns everyday eggs into a fluffy, veggie-loaded bake just perfect for busy mornings. It’s also super easy to make your own with extra protein and veggies!
Heat the oven to 375°F / 190°C. Lightly grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish (or 9 × 9 if you like taller slices) with a light mist of oil or cooking spray.
½ tablespoon olive oil
Crack the eggs into a big bowl and whisk until smooth. Spoon in the cottage cheese and Greek yogurt and whisk again; a few curds are fine.
12 medium eggs
1 ½ cup cottage cheese
½ cup thick Greek yoghurt
Stir the bell pepper, scallions, and spinach into the egg mixture. Sprinkle in salt and freshly ground black pepper, then give the mixture one last whisk to distribute everything evenly.
1 small red bell pepper
4 scallions
1 cup baby spinach
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and bake on the middle rack for 35-40 minutes or until the center is set and the top becomes golden.
Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes before cutting into squares.

Notes
To prevent the breakfast casserole from turning watery, drain off any visible whey from the cottage cheese before whisking.
Let it rest 10 min before slicing so you get clean squares.
