Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 18 large eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese (full fat or 2%)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Herbs and Cheese
- 4 green onions (white and green parts), finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large 12x17-inch rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper, making sure it overhangs the sides for easy removal and to prevent the egg mixture from leaking underneath.
- Blend the Eggs: In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, kosher salt, freshly-ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Blend for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
- Add the Herbs and Some Feta: Add the finely chopped green onions, fresh dill, Italian parsley, lemon zest, and ¼ cup of the crumbled feta cheese to the blender. Pulse on low a few times just to incorporate the herbs and cheese without fully blending them.
- Fill and Top: Pour the egg mixture evenly onto the prepared sheet pan. Then sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of feta cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
- Bake: Place the sheet pan in the oven and bake for 12-18 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set in the center and no longer jiggly when gently shaken.
- Slice and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the egg sheet to cool for 5 minutes. Then cut into 12 equal pieces and serve warm.
Notes
- Use full-fat or 2% cottage cheese for the creamiest texture.
- Make sure to line your sheet pan with parchment paper that overhangs the sides for easy removal and cleanup.
- If desired, swap feta cheese for goat cheese or omit for a milder flavor.
- Herbs can be adjusted based on availability or preference, fresh is best for vibrant flavor.
- This recipe serves well for meal prep and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days.
