Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 1 yellow onion chopped
  • 3 cups chopped kale
  • 1 20 oz package hash browns (I used Trader Joe’s)
  • 12 pasture-raised eggs
  • 3 cups egg whites
  • 1 16 oz container full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup Swiss + Gruyère cheese blend
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Garlic powder & red pepper flakes season generously

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter and sauté peppers and onion for 5 minutes. Once softened, add kale, cover, and let it wilt.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and red pepper flakes.
  • Grease a 9x13 baking dish and spread hash browns evenly in the dish. Sprinkle with a little cheese, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Layer the sautéed veggie mixture over the hash browns, then pour the egg mixture on top. Finish with the remaining cheese.
  • Bake for 45–60 minutes, or until fully set. If using a cast iron dish, you may need extra baking time.
  • Let cool slightly, then slice and serve.
  • Storage: Cover and store in the fridge for up to a week. Pair with fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast!
