Cottage Cheese Egg Bake (Frittata)
This Cottage Cheese Egg Bake (Frittata) is a savory baked dish blending eggs, creamy cottage cheese, Pecorino Romano, spinach, and flavorful Italian sausage. Sautéing crumbled sausage before adding the egg mixture creates depth and texture. Baking in an oven-safe skillet yields a firm yet tender frittata with a cheesy, slightly salty profile, accented by greens. It can be served in wedges for breakfast or brunch, optionally paired with salad or bread.
