A delightful and easy-to-make dish combining fresh vegetables and creamy cheese for a perfect brunch or light dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect texture.
Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of oil.
Using a non-stick spray helps with easy cleanup.
Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
Cut the onion into thin slices for even cooking.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Whisking thoroughly ensures a uniform mixture.
Layer the spinach evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Press the spinach down slightly to create an even layer.
Pour the egg mixture over the spinach.
Pour slowly to ensure even distribution.
Arrange the tomato slices and chopped onion on top of the egg mixture.
Place the toppings decoratively for a beautiful presentation.
Sprinkle the grated cheddar cheese evenly over the top.
Grate the cheese finely for better melting.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
Check doneness by inserting a knife into the center; it should come out clean.
Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious creation!
Cooling slightly allows the flavors to meld and makes slicing easier.
