Ingredients

• 6 large eggs

• 6 strips turkey bacon (or center-cut pork bacon)

• 1 cup liquid egg whites

• ½ cup low-fat cottage cheese

• ½ cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese

• 1 scoop unflavored or savory protein powder (or egg white protein)

• ¼ tsp black pepper

• ¼ tsp garlic powder

• 1 tbsp chopped chives or green onion (optional)

• Olive oil spray

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 baking dish with olive oil spray.

2. Cook the Bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crispy. Let it cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

3. Blend the Egg Base: In a blender, combine the eggs, egg whites, cottage cheese, protein powder, garlic powder, and black pepper. Blend until smooth and fluffy.

4. Assemble the Bake: Pour the blended mixture into your greased dish. Stir in the shredded cheddar and chopped bacon. Top with chives, if using.

5. Bake: Bake for 30 minutes, or until the center is fully set and the top is lightly golden. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
