Here are the Main Ingredients you will Need to make this Recipe!

Step-by-step Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

Add the diced Canadian Back Bacon and warm for 2-3 minutes, then add the chopped spinach and cook until just wilted, about 2 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg whites, whole eggs, and blended cottage cheese until smooth.

Stir in the sautéed spinach, bacon, onion, and garlic mixture.

Add the halved cherry tomatoes, sun-dried tomatoes, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped dill.

Season with smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to taste, and mix well to combine all ingredients.

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Place in the preheated oven and bake covered with aluminum foil for 45-55 minutes, then uncover and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes to remove any excess moisture and let the top golden.

Let the bake cool for a few minutes before slicing.

Serve warm, garnished with additional dill or parsley if desired.

Recipe Notes/Modifications:

Blending the cottage cheese ensures a smooth texture in the bake. You can use a food processor or blender for this step. It is optional!
The Bacon I use is from Costco, brand Freybe. You can sub with another high-protein low fat back bacon or ham.
I love bringing this recipe to brunches as typically there are lots of high carb options already there. If eating at home, I like pairing it with sweet potatoes or placing this in a wrap and grilling to increase carbs.
Short-Term Storage: Allow the bake to cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container or cover the baking dish with plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days.
Long-Term Storage: Once the bake has cooled completely, you can freeze it. Wrap the entire dish tightly with plastic wrap and then aluminum foil, or transfer individual portions to freezer-safe containers or resealable freezer bags. I love these baking dishes from amazon as they come with a lid and make storage easy! This bake can be frozen for 2-3 months.
Bake time may vary based on liquid content of cottage cheese/grape tomatoes.
