Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Lightly grease a baking dish, around 9x13 inches, with cooking spray or olive oil.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the chopped vegetables. Stir together until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt, and dried oregano until frothy.
  5. Pour the whisked egg mixture over the vegetable and cottage cheese blend. Gently mix everything together.
  6. Transfer the combined mixture into your greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  7. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese generously over the top.
  8. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  9. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly for about 10 minutes before slicing and serving warm.
