INGREDIENT NOTES:
EGGS:
This dish’s foundation is eggs, which provide it structure, richness, and a protein boost. They produce a soft, fluffy texture and keep the ingredients together. Always use large, fresh eggs for optimal results.
HEAVY CREAM:
Heavy cream gives the baked good a creamy, soft texture in addition to supplying beneficial fats. It contributes to the smooth richness and balance of the protein.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
Cheddar cheese forms a golden crust on top and melts into a delicious, sharp layer of flavor. It adds texture and saltiness. You can use Monterey Jack or mozzarella for a softer flavor.
COTTAGE CHEESE:
Cottage cheese adds moisture & creaminess without making the bake heavy. Use full-fat for the smoothest texture and the most flavorful cottage cheese.
CHICKEN BREAST:
The addition of chicken breast gives the dish a satisfying & substantial amount of lean protein. It melds nicely with cheese and eggs. We swap it with cooked sausage, ham, or turkey.
SPINACH:
Spinach provides the color, nutrition, and a subtle earthy flavor that counterbalances the richness. It blends in perfectly and cooks down easily.
BELL PEPPER:
Bell peppers offer a vibrant flavor and a sweet crunch. Their hue enhances the dish’s charm. Use any color bell pepper for balance or sweetness.
ONIONS:
Onions adds the natural sweetness and savory depth. It turns tasty & mild when sautéed.
BUTTER:
Butter or olive oil provides richness and prevents the vegetables from sticking. Butter adds additional depth to the flavor, while olive oil makes it lighter. Both options are effective.
BLACK PEPPER:
Black pepper and salt bring out the flavor of all the ingredients. They balance the dish without taking over. Taste and adjust as necessary.
GARLIC POWDER:
It adds a light savory taste & deepness. It blends evenly into the batter without the raw garlic’s harsh bite. You can use minced garlic instead for a more potent taste.
SMOKED PAPRIKA:
Smoked paprika adds a burst of color & a smoky aroma. It enhances the flavor overall and goes well with meat and cheese.
