# How-To Steps:
01 - Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 13x9 inch rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray or line with parchment paper.
02 - In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, and milk until smooth and slightly frothy.
03 - Stir in salt, pepper, and dried herbs until evenly distributed.
04 - Add tomatoes, spinach, bell pepper, zucchini, and red onion. Mix gently to combine without breaking down vegetables.
05 - Pour the egg mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently tap the pan on the counter to settle the mixture and ensure even distribution.
06 - Bake for 22-25 minutes, or until the eggs are just set in the center and lightly golden around the edges.
07 - Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Slice into squares, garnish with fresh chives or parsley, and serve warm or at room temperature.
