# Steps:
01 -
Chop vegetables such as zucchini, carrots, broccoli, red bell peppers, or mushrooms into small, even pieces. Sauté moisture-heavy vegetables like mushrooms or zucchini in a dry pan for 3-5 minutes to release extra water.
02 -
In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups of cottage cheese and 3 large eggs until smooth. Stir in sautéed vegetables, raw vegetables, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, and season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
03 -
Grease a 9×9 inch baking dish with olive oil and pour the mixture into the dish. Spread evenly with a spatula.
04 -
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden, and the center is set.
05 -
Let the veggie bake rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Serve as a main dish or side dish.
# Tips:
01 -
Sautéing high-moisture vegetables like zucchini or mushrooms prevents the bake from becoming soggy.
02 -
Letting the bake rest after removing from the oven helps it firm up for clean slices.
