Cottage Cheese Frittata

Ingredients

  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (shredded) cheddar cheese
  • ¾ cup (not packed) cottage cheese
  • 2 scallions, chopped
  • 4 large eggs

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. Add eggs, cottage cheese, salt and pepper to a medium mixing bowl and whisk until smooth and combined.
  3. Add chopped scallions and cheddar cheese to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
  4. Pour egg mixture into a prepared dish.
  5. Bake uncovered until set and golden brown around edges, about 40-45 minutes. It’s okay if the middle is still a little jiggly, it will still set as it rests.
  6. Let the frittata rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes, then cut into 6 slices and serve.
