Instructions
0 Prep the baking dish. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper. 1 Cook the sausage. If your sausage isn't already pre-cooked, in a skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until browned. Set aside. 2 Mix the egg mixture. In a large mixing bowl, whisk eggs, cottage cheese, whole milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Add in shredded cheese, diced red peppers, sausage, onion & green onion if using. 3 Assemble the casserole. Pour the mixture into the casserole dish and top with chopped spinach, gently mixing in with a fork. Sprinkle on additional cheese and green onion if desired. 4 Bake. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden. 5 Cool & slice. Let cool 10 minutes for the fluffy eggs to set before slicing into individual portions.View original recipe
