High-Protein Sheet Pan Eggs (Printable)

Fluffy, protein-packed oven eggs with cottage cheese and vegetables for easy meal prep.

# What You'll Need:

→ Eggs & Dairy

01 - 10 large eggs
02 - 1 1/2 cups low-fat cottage cheese
03 - 1/4 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)

→ Vegetables

04 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
05 - 1 cup baby spinach, roughly chopped
06 - 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
07 - 1/2 cup zucchini, diced
08 - 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

→ Seasonings

09 - 1/2 teaspoon salt
10 - 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
11 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
12 - pinch of chili flakes (optional)

→ Garnish

13 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives or parsley, chopped

# Method:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, and milk until smooth and slightly frothy.
03 - Stir in salt, pepper, and dried herbs until well combined.
04 - Add tomatoes, spinach, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Mix gently to distribute evenly.
05 - Pour the egg mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently tap the pan on the counter to settle the mixture and release air bubbles.
06 - Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the eggs are just set in the center and lightly golden around the edges.
07 - Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into squares and garnish with fresh chives or parsley.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The cottage cheese makes these eggs impossibly fluffy without any fancy technique or endless whisking
  • You get six breakfasts ready in under 45 minutes with practically zero cleanup
02 -
  • Overbaking creates a rubbery texture—pull it when the center still jiggles slightly like gelatin
  • Cottage cheese with larger curds will leave white flecks, which some people actually prefer
03 -
  • Use a rimmed baking sheet without fail—the first time I used a flat pan ended with egg mixture dripping into my oven
  • Let the vegetables come to room temperature before mixing, or they'll make the eggs take longer to set
