Prep Time: 5

Cook Time: 45

Servings:

12 eggs
1 lb turkey breakfast sausage ground or removed from casing (or use chopped pre-cooked/frozen)
1 tsp olive oil
16 oz cottage cheese
1.5 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
1/2 sweet onion diced small
2 cloves garlic minced
1 green bell pepper diced small
1 red bell pepper diced small
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium skillet, heat oil on medium heat. Add turkey sausage and cook until completely cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to another dish.
In the same skillet, add onion, garlic and bell peppers. Sauté on medium heat for 4-5 minutes until veggies are softened. Remove from heat.
While the sausage and veggie mixture is cooling, make your egg and cottage cheese mixture by combining eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Blend using an immersion blender (or use a regular blender instead!).
Add cooked turkey sausage and veggies to the blended egg and cottage cheese mixture, stirring until fully combined.
Pour into to a large nonstick or lightly sprayed with oil 9x13" casserole dish (or a little larger will work too).
Bake for ~40-50 minutes, until egg and cottage cheese bake is firm in the middle. If the top is browning too much, cover with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.
Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes and then cut into even slices.

Exact cook time will vary depending on oven.
