Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a round baking dish (similar size to tortilla).
2️⃣ Layer the tortilla in the dish, pressing it down to form the crust.
3️⃣ Whisk eggs & cottage cheese in a bowl. Season with salt & pepper. Pour over the tortilla.
4️⃣ Add toppings:
- For Greek-style, layer tomatoes, olives, red onions, spinach, feta, and mozzarella.
- For veggie-cheese, use bell peppers, spinach, and mozzarella.
5️⃣ Bake 20-25 mins until eggs are set and cheese is golden.
6️⃣ Cool 5 mins, slice, and serve!
Notes
✔ Use a whole wheat or low-carb tortilla for extra fiber.
✔ Pre-cook watery veggies (like mushrooms or zucchini) to avoid a soggy bake.
✔ Swap cottage cheese for ricotta or Greek yogurt if preferred.
✔ Double the batch for meal prep—reheats well for 2-3 days!
