# Cooking steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, and milk until smooth and slightly frothy.
03 - Stir in salt, pepper, and dried herbs until well incorporated.
04 - Add tomatoes, spinach, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Mix gently to combine evenly.
05 - Pour the egg mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently tap the pan on the counter to settle the mixture and release air bubbles.
06 - Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until eggs are just set in the center and lightly golden around edges.
07 - Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes to allow the eggs to set completely for easier slicing.
08 - Slice into squares, garnish with fresh chives or parsley, and serve warm or at room temperature.

# Expert advice:

01 -
  • You get six days worth of protein-packed breakfasts from one 40-minute effort
  • The cottage cheese makes these eggs impossibly fluffy while keeping them moist
02 -
  • Overbaking will make these rubbery, so pull them out when they still have a slight wobble in the center
  • Letting them rest before slicing is crucial or they'll fall apart and you'll end up with scrambled mess
03 -
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet without exception or you'll have egg mixture dripping into your oven
  • Room temperature eggs whisk up better and create a smoother final texture
