Cooking Steps

  4. In a large bowl, whisk together 4 eggs, 1 cup of milk, and 1 cup of well-drained cottage cheese until smooth. Stir in 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
  5. Fold the sautéed vegetable mixture into the egg base, then add in 1 cup of shredded cheese, folding it in gently.
  6. Grease a 9-inch pie dish with olive oil. Pour the mixture into the dish, smoothing the top.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden brown on top and set in the center.
