The method

4 clear steps.

1

Prepare.

Heat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9-inch square baking dish with olive oil.

2

Whisk the base.

Blend or whisk the eggs and cottage cheese until mostly smooth. Stir in the garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

3

Assemble.

Scatter the turkey sausage, spinach, bell pepper, and scallions in the dish. Pour the egg mixture evenly over them.

4

Bake.

Bake 32–38 minutes, until the center is set and springs back lightly. Rest 10 minutes before slicing.

Make it work.

Small details that matter most with gluten-free cooking.

Cool before storing

Let steam escape before covering so the surface does not become watery.

Reheat gently

Use short microwave intervals or a low oven to keep the eggs tender.

Check the sausage

Choose a gluten-free labeled sausage because seasonings and fillers vary.
