Equipment
- 9x13 inch Baking Dish
- Frying Pan
Ingredients
- 1 strip bacon diced
- 0.5 medium onion finely diced
- 1 cup liquid egg whites
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 0.5 red bell pepper diced
- 0.5 cup mushrooms sliced
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 5 ounces fresh spinach cooked and squeezed dry
- 0.75 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish for easy cleanup.
- In a frying pan over medium heat, cook the diced bacon with the finely diced onion until the bacon is slightly crispy and the onion is soft and translucent. Drain any excess fat and set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat the liquid egg whites until they are light and foamy, almost doubled in volume. Then, whisk in the whole eggs and the cottage cheese until well combined. This makes the casserole extra fluffy!
- In a separate bowl, mix the diced red bell pepper, sliced mushrooms, and the cooked, squeezed-dry spinach with the cooked bacon and onion mixture. Sprinkle with 3 tablespoons of flour (this helps bind everything) and toss gently to coat all the ingredients.
- Gently fold the vegetable and bacon mixture into the egg and cottage cheese mixture. Pour this combined mixture evenly into your prepared casserole dish. Bake for 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, carefully remove the casserole from the oven. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top, then return it to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly, and the eggs are fully set.
- Let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it set for perfect portions!
