Ingredients

  • 12 large eggs
  • 1½ cups (12 oz) cottage cheese (2% or 4%)
  • ¾ cup shredded cheese of choice (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 2 cups chopped kale (finely shredded)
  • 5 oz sliced mushrooms (baby bella or cremini)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray or olive oil to coat the sheet pan

Steps

  1. Prep oven and pan: Preheat to 350 °F. Coat a standard 15×10-inch rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray or a light drizzle of olive oil.
  2. Sauté veggies: In a skillet over medium heat, lightly sauté mushrooms for 3–4 minutes until they soften. Add kale and cook for another 1–2 minutes until just wilted. Remove from heat.
  3. Blend base: In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper; blend until smooth.
  4. Assemble: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared sheet pan. Evenly scatter the sautéed kale and mushroom mixture over the top.
  5. Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes or until set in the center. Allow to cool on the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting into 8 squares.
