    COTTAGE CHEESE & SPINACH EGG BAKE | Healthy breakfast casserole
    1 teaspoon olive oil
    1 small onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
    8 ounces cremini mushrooms, sliced
    5 cups (150 grams) baby spinach, roughly chopped
    12 eggs
    1.5 cups low-fat cottage cheese
    1 teaspoon garlic powder
    1 teaspoon onion powder
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1/4 teaspoon black pepper
    2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
    Preheat oven to 350° F. Lightly spray a 9" x 13" pan with nonstick cooking spray.
    Heat olive oil in a large, non-stick saute. Add onions, mushrooms, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 6-8 minutes or until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are lightly browned.
    Mushrooms sautéing in a pan.
    Toss in the spinach, turn off the heat, and toss until combined and the spinach is slightly wilted.
    Spread the veggie mixture in the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the vegetables. Set aside.
    Whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.*
    Pour the egg mixture over the veggies. Gently pull some of the veggies to the surface with a fork.
    Bake for 30 minutes or until the eggs are set through. Let them rest for 15-25 minutes before cutting and serving.
    NOTES
    *If you prefer a creamier texture, you can blend the eggs and the cottage cheese. Personally, I love the little curds intact - but both options work!

    Just got home from purchasing all I need for this casserole and would love to have more recipes of this nature.
    I'm gluten-free and very low carb so this is right up my alley. (note: I don't count carbs but try to stay under 20-25 gm daily. Being gluten-free helps with that goal). I'll be 75 in 4 months and I've been able to maintain a good weight and excellent hgA1c the past few years by limiting carbs. All of that said, I don't have grandkids, I live alone, eat on my own schedule so that makes it much easier. Much less snacking temptations.

    I cant wait to make this over the weekend. I would love to see more recipes like this, I am also trying to bump up my protein intake. I just found your channel about a month ago and I love all of your very informative information and delicious recipes. You bring it all to us with great energy and a smile, thank you!! I just turned 59 and the weight loss battle has been just that a battle. Up 3, down 2, up 4, down 2 and so it goes. Id like to shed this weight before turning 60, I have 70 pounds to loose. I am very fearful for my health. I have been a full time caretaker for the past 10 years of my aging and very sick parents and loss both of them, I am also raising my young grandchildren. I have lost myself somewhere in between all of this and trying to take care of me. Time to put the oxygen mask on so I can still take care of my family and myself.

      After years of up and down weight and many different diets, I finally found Keto, lost 65lbs and have kept it off. I know it’s not for everyone but for myself and many others, it reset my metabolism so I no longer gain weight while eating a normal healthy(higher protein) diet. Good luck to you on your health journey!

    Hi Dani!! Always fab. 🥰
    I have a q pls. Since u buy block cheese how do u save it in your fridge or freezer and how long does it stay fresh?
    Perhaps a video idea - Maybe a 101 video on how to buy block cheeses, what to look out for, shredding methods and storage for longevity so we get both nutrition and most of our buck. Thank you 🙏🏼

    Looks wonderful. I do mushrooms same way, no washing, just wipe and very little to no oil, often just dry saute. And totally agree on feta blocks, very easy to just crumble, keeps longer in the brine and tastes better.

      @nicolemartin8737 8 днів тому

      The immersion blender makes the cottage cheese smooth. The texture of the mixed eggs and cottage cheese is super fluffy. I just use this mix for scrambled eggs and fold in some cheese and herbs. This casserole sounds like a great variation.

      @anychaffey2048-got board with chicken too and baked Amish chicken thighs seasoning the meat and wrapping the skin back over it. I chose a wire copper short basket (used to bake French fries) with a pan to catch the drippings. Adding little drizzle of oil over chicken, placed tinfoil lightly over it at 350 ° for 30-35 minutes. The wire of the basket created a nice texture without the drying out of the meat. Then later used the bones, skin ect and added onion powder, little turmeric and pepper and boiled to down to make a nice broth 35min.then cooled to weed out bones skin and saved broth an tiny bits of chicken to make a lentil soup. Adding more veggies. Yum.

    This looks good! I made the slow cooker beef tips last week for tacos (I used stew meat and it worked just fine) and they were really good so looking forward to trying this bake!

    Ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese would be delicious too! Thanks for making this video.
