Ingredients
  

1 cup cottage cheese (preferably low-fat)

4 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your choice of cheese)

1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color)

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

1 clove garlic, minced

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, e.g., parsley or chives)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish or individual ramekins with a little cooking spray or butter.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, shredded cheese, diced bell peppers, green onions, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.

      Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish or divide it among the ramekins, ensuring an even layer across the bottom.

        Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

          Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired before serving.

            Slice into squares (if using a baking dish) and serve warm. Enjoy your nutritious and delicious baked cottage cheese eggs for breakfast, brunch, or as a light meal!
