Instructions

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), allowing it to reach the perfect temperature for baking the eggs. -
Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 3 oz of cottage cheese, 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup of milk until smooth and well combined. -
Incorporate the Spinach
Stir in the 3 oz of chopped spinach, making sure it’s evenly distributed throughout the egg mixture. -
Transfer to Baking Dish
Grease a small oven dish, then pour the egg mixture into the dish, spreading it out evenly. -
Top with Parmesan
Sprinkle a bit more parmesan cheese on top of the egg mixture for an extra cheesy touch. -
Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the top is golden and slightly bubbly. -
Cool and Serve
Allow the dish to cool for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps it set and makes it easier to slice. -
Enjoy!
Serve your delicious, cheesy spinach eggs as a hearty breakfast or a light brunch.

Advice
For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding some fresh herbs such as parsley, chives, or basil to the egg mixture before baking. If you prefer a slightly creamier texture, feel free to increase the amount of cottage cheese or opt for a richer cheese like ricotta.
This recipe is incredibly versatile, so you can mix in other vegetables such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or even a bit of onion for added flavor and texture.
For a vegetarian breakfast that’s packed with protein and healthy fats, these Fine Spinach and Cheese Eggs are a satisfying and simple choice.
