Main Ingredients
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup liquid egg whites
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 zucchini diced
  • 1/2 medium red onion diced
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes pat dry, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives halved
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese reduced-fat
  • 1/4 cup shredded reduced-fat provolone cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch red pepper flakes optional
  • Cooking spray

Equipment

  • 9x13 inch baking dish
  • large skillet

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. In a large skillet, sauté diced zucchini and red onion for 5-7 minutes, then add sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes until moisture is released. Stir in chopped sun-dried tomatoes and Kalamata olives for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together whole eggs, liquid egg whites, almond milk, and low-fat cottage cheese, then season with oregano, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  4. Spread the sautéed vegetable mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish, then pour the egg mixture over the vegetables.
  5. Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese and shredded reduced-fat provolone cheese evenly over the casserole.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes until set, golden brown, and a knife inserted comes out clean; tent with aluminum foil if the top browns too quickly.
  7. Remove from oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

This casserole is a great make-ahead option for meal prep. You can prepare it the night before and bake it in the morning for a quick and healthy breakfast.
