Ingredients
- 2 cups cottage cheese

- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 cups spinach, fresh
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt

Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9 inch or similar sized baking dish with some olive oil or cooking spray.
Step 2
Heat olive oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic and diced red bell pepper to the onions and sauté for another 3-4 minutes, until the vegetables are tender.
Step 4
Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, and dried oregano until well combined.
Step 6
Add the sautéed vegetables to the cheese and egg mixture, stirring gently until everything is evenly incorporated.
Step 7
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread out evenly with a spatula.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the casserole is set and the top is golden brown.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy your low carb cottage cheese casserole!
