Ingredients
  

Tortilla Base:

  • 1 large tortilla choose a gluten-free option if desired​

Egg Mixture & Dairy:

  • 1 cup cottage cheese​
  • 3 large eggs​
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Fresh Vegetables:

  • 1 cup baby spinach roughly chopped​
  • 1 medium tomato diced​
  • Optional 1/2 cup diced bell peppers or green peppers​

Seasonings & Flavor Boosters:

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder​
  • Salt and pepper to taste​
  • Optional A pinch of black pepper for extra spice​

Cooking Essentials:

  • Cooking spray to grease the pan for a non-stick bake​

Optional Protein Additions:

  • Optional 1/2 cup cooked sausage, crumbled for a heartier version​
  • Optional A small handful of arugula for garnish, adding a peppery finish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or oven-safe skillet with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Prepare the Egg Mixture:

  • In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Blend or whisk until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

Assemble the Tortilla Base:

  • Place the tortilla in the greased baking dish, ensuring it covers the bottom and slightly comes up the sides to hold the filling.

Add Vegetables and Optional Proteins:

  • Evenly distribute the chopped baby spinach, diced tomato, and any optional additions like bell peppers or cooked sausage over the tortilla.

Pour the Egg Mixture:

  • Carefully pour the prepared egg and cottage cheese mixture over the vegetables and proteins, ensuring an even spread.

Bake the Tortilla:

  • Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the top is slightly golden brown.

Garnish and Serve:

  • Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh arugula if desired. Slice into portions and serve warm.
