This cottage cheese veggie bake is an easy, protein-rich dinner made with eggs, creamy cottage cheese, broccoli, zucchini, spinach, bell pepper, and cheddar. I cook the vegetables briefly before they go into the baking dish because excess moisture is the main thing that can make a veggie egg bake watery. What I look for at the end is a lightly golden top and a center that is set but still soft when pressed. It works well for dinner, lunch, or meal prep, and the vegetables can be changed depending on what is in the fridge.
