Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, broccoli florets, bell pepper, zucchini, cherry tomatoes, spinach, and red onion, folding gently until mixed.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and oregano until smooth.
  5. Pour the egg mixture over the mixed vegetables and fold gently until everything is well-coated.
  6. Transfer the mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
