I saw a recipe for cottage cheese added to eggs to make them more high protein and it gave me an idea to add it into a new egg bake- I love egg bakes for great easy lunches for the week! This week I decided to create a lorraine-style bake and honestly this was really good!
Ingredients:
12 eggs
1 8oz container high protein cottage cheese (I like Good brand)
Salt and pepper
cooking spray
1/2 lb thin sliced ham, cut into squares
1 small pack sliced baby bella mushrooms
1 bag spinach
1 yellow onion, thinly sliced into rings
EVOO
1.5 cups shredded parmesan
Directions:
1. Caramelize onions in a large saucepan over medium high heat with EVOO and salt until golden brown and wilted. Set aside.
2. Preheat oven to 375 and spray a 9x13 pan with nonstick cooking spray.
3. Whisk together eggs, then add in seasonings and cottage cheese. Use an immersion blender until smooth.
4. Add in squares of ham (make sure they aren't clumped together), mushrooms, spinach and onions and mix until combined.
5. Bake for 45 minutes or until the middle is set, then top with parmesan cheese and bake for 10 min at 350 until golden brown on top.
