# Instructions:
01 -
Start by warming up your oven to a toasty 375°F (190°C). This is the perfect temperature for getting that lovely golden top!
02 -
Grab an 8×8 inch baking dish and give it a light coating of cooking spray or a gentle brush of olive oil to prevent sticking.
03 -
In a spacious bowl, combine your cottage cheese, eggs, and shredded cheese until well mixed. If you're using those lovely green onions or any extra veggies, now's their time to shine! Don't forget to season with salt and pepper to make all the flavors pop.
04 -
Pour your mixture into the prepared dish, making sure it's spread out evenly. Pop it into your preheated oven and let it bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until you see the eggs are set and the top has turned a beautiful golden color.
05 -
Take it out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes - it'll be super hot! Then cut it into squares and serve while it's still warm and comforting.
