cooking spray
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until blended. Add the cottage cheese, milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, and whisk until smooth.
10 large eggs, 1 cup (225 g) 2% cottage cheese, ½ cup (120 ml) whole milk, 1 tsp (6 g) table salt, ½ tsp (1 g) black pepper, ½ tsp (2 g) garlic powder
Stir in the spinach, red bell pepper, red onion, and half of the cheddar cheese.
1 cup (30 g) fresh baby spinach, ½ cup (75 g) diced red bell pepper, ¼ cup (40 g) diced red onion, 1 cup (113 g) shredded cheddar cheese
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle the remaining cheddar cheese on top.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is set and the top is golden. A knife inserted in the middle should come out clean.
Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Whisk the eggs smooth before adding anything else. It keeps the texture creamy.
Sprinkle most of the cheddar on top for that golden layer.
Any pan works (stoneware, glass, or metal). Watch the edges since some pans brown faster.
Changing the veggies is fair game: mushrooms, zucchini, or arugula all fit.
