Instructions 

How to Make High Protein Cottage Cheese Frittata

  • Preheat the oven to 375. Lightly spray a 10-inch cast iron pan with olive oil cooking spray. Set it aside. In a large bowl, add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt and black pepper. Whisk together using your BLACK+DECKER kitchen wand with hand mixer attachment. Set aside.
  • Next, trim your broccoli florets and chop your vegetables. Give the zucchini, onion and red bell pepper a rough chop using your BLACK+DECKER kitchen wand with chopping attachment. Chop each ingredient individually.
  • Next, heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Spray it with olive oil cooking spray and add the chopped vegetables and broccoli florets. Sauté for 3-4 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften. Remove the vegetables from the heat and allow them to cool. Once they are cool to touch, add the vegetables to the mixing bowl with the egg / cottage cheese mixture. Gently stir in the crumbled goat cheese and pour everything into the prepared cast iron pan.
    Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the eggs are set in the center. Cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. Option to serve with chopped chives and sour cream.
