Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 4 oz sliced turkey ham, chopped
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (about 2 oz)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 1 oz)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp olive oil (for greasing the dish)
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F / 190°C. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or four 8-ounce ramekins with 1 teaspoon olive oil, ensuring the bottom and sides are coated to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the 8 large eggs with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy, about 30 seconds. This ensures a uniform texture and even seasoning throughout the dish.
  3. Fold in the 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese, 4 oz chopped turkey ham, 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan. Stir gently until evenly distributed; the cottage cheese should remain in small curds for a creamy, textured bite.
  4. Gently fold in the 2 cups chopped spinach until just incorporated. The spinach will wilt during baking, so do not overmix.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish or divide evenly among the ramekins, filling each about 3/4 full to allow room for puffing. Smooth the top with a spatula.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean. For ramekins, begin checking at 18 minutes. The top should be lightly golden and the edges slightly pulled away from the sides.
  7. Let the dish rest for 5 minutes on a wire rack. This allows the eggs to finish cooking from residual heat and makes slicing easier without breaking the layers.
  8. If using a single dish, cut into 4 equal portions. Serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place individual portions in a 350°F / 177°C oven for 8-10 minutes, or microwave on medium power for 1-2 minutes until hot. Not recommended for freezing as the texture of the eggs may become rubbery upon thawing.
