Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures an even cooking temperature for your dish.
  2. Prepare the baking dish: Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with a little oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Mix the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 4 large eggs, 1/4 cup of milk, and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Stir until well blended.
  4. Add vegetables: Incorporate 1/2 cup of chopped veggies into the mixture. Feel free to experiment with your favorites or what you have on hand.
  5. Season: Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and any herbs you desire, mixing everything until evenly distributed.
  6. Pour into the dish: Transfer the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  7. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Look for a set center and a lightly golden top as indicators that it’s ready.
  8. Cool and serve: Once baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into squares or wedges and serve warm.
