1. Slice the red peppers– slice the red pepper into small, bite-sized pieces, about 1/2 inch.

3. Add in the cottage cheese, cheese, and spinach– tear the spinach leaves into smaller pieces and fold into the eggs.

How to Store Leftover Egg Bake

If you don’t happen to eat this whole egg bake in one sitting, you can store the leftovers in an air-tight bag for 1-2 days. To reheat, I suggest putting it into an air fryer or back into the oven at 350º F for 5-7 minutes. This can also be reheated in the microwave, but won’t be as crisp.
