Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup butter butter or Smart Balance (not margarine)
  • 1 chopped onion (optional)
  • 10 eggs (I use 6 eggs and 4 of Egg Substitute)
  • 1/4 cup Soy flour (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Sea salt or season salt
  • 1 pound container Large curd cottage cheese (can use small)
  • 1 pound total (divided) Jack, Cheddar, Swiss or favorite cheeses (they come already grated now)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 to 2 cups vegetables (either fresh zucchini,asparagus, spinach, broccoli or other)
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, or basil
  • 1/2 to 1 cup sliced mushrooms, olives or red pepper
  • 1/2 to 1 pound cooked bacon, sausage or ham in bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon thyme

Directions

  1. Saute yellow, red or a bunch of green onions in butter or Smart Balance. Pour all including butter, in large casserole or 9X13" pan. If you use all the ingredients you may need two pans!

  2. Cover this layer with cooked drained meat of your choice. Then the chopped or sliced vegetables. (I like bacon, with Wwiss and spinach, or ham, asparagus and cheddar and jack, zucchini with sausage and pepper jack.) Lots of possibilities!

  3. In large mixer, beat the egg and egg substitute until fluffy. Add cottage cheese and beat again to mix well. Add optional soy flour, then salt, baking powder, parsley and thyme. Blend well. Add half the cheese or combination of cheeses you are using.

  4. Pour over the vegetable layer in casserole. Top with mushrooms or sliced red peppers. Then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

  5. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes then at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Stick a knife in it to make sure the eggs are not "wet". It will brown beautifully. Wait a few minutes before cutting and eating.

  6. You can serve it with salsa and sour cream if you wish but it is not necessary.

  7. If you have a small family, this is great to take to a potluck.
