Steps
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish with olive oil.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 6 eggs, 2 egg whites, and 1 cup of milk until well combined.
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 chopped onion, 1 teaspoon of oregano, and black pepper. Sauté for 6-8 minutes.
- Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Stir in 1 cup each of chopped mushrooms, diced red and green bell peppers, and zucchini. Sauté for about 5 minutes.
- Add 2 cups of fresh spinach, along with chopped basil and parsley, stirring until the spinach is just wilted.
- Layer 1 cup of cooked quinoa at the bottom of the greased casserole dish, followed by half of the sautéed vegetable mixture and half of the cottage cheese.
- Repeat the layers with the remaining quinoa and vegetables, finishing with the last of the cottage cheese on top.
- Pour the prepared egg mixture over the layered casserole, ensuring it spreads evenly.
- Sprinkle 1/2 cup of crumbled feta cheese over the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
