[@CleanandDeliciousDani]

Today, I have a new, easy, healthy, high-protein breakfast for you! It's one of my new favorites - enjoy!! XO Dani // PS You can print the recipe here: cleananddelicious.com/healthy-cottage-cheese-spinach-egg-bake/

[@irenemagill4890]

Hi Dani. I like your recipe. I'm 89 yrs and still cook for myself alone. I kind easy recipes as easier on my feet re time. Do you make smaller amount recipes?

[@katiebestevaar7948]

This looks lovely, and I’ll make it tomorrow - just one question - why do you throw out the mushroom stems? Apart from any dirty edge, I use all of the mushroom. Also broccoli stems, cut smaller, they are delicious and nutritious…Thanks for this recipe, I just came across your site…🌼

[@jlynn3631]

Oh my word!! I just made this and I added sundried tomato's over the veggies. And I used cayenne pepper instead of hot sauce, and like you did I added plain Greek yogurt on top. It was sooooo delicious i couldn't believe it!! I made it for my dinner for the week. I used goat cheese feta cheese block. Thank you for sharing such an amazing meal!!!

[@steveffuksake]

That's much better, can I come and live with you 😊

[@GTMonica]

I had just popped mine in the oven when I read this comment, pulled it right back out and added the sundried tomatoes! Best Idea, it was perfect!

[@Smolstarfish]

I did this but put a dollop of salsa over top. I absolutely love the way salsa makes eggs taste. I also added a bit of bell peppers! ❤

[@Teaally1913]

Thank you for not giving a long monologue! You just got right into it! Yes, more protein please. Heart healthy too!

[@kathieh880]

Dani, thank you! I am 65 and trying something new for me - higher protein with each meal. I am tired and cranky at breakfast and prefer no thinking meal prep (cereal and milk)! Making this delicious looking egg dish before and storing in the frig is great! Thanks you.

[@thejunehay]

I made this egg bake this morning. It was delicious. I cut the recipe in half since there are only 2 of us and I didn’t want to commit to a dozen eggs. I will definitely make this again and won’t short it. Loved it! Thanks!

[@CjandPepe]

I love how u were kind enough to put the recipe in the description - thank you! 💕

[@michelebarnes4059]

I have made this recipe for years. I love it. During the growing season, I put tomatoes and basil on top from my garden. Thank you😊

[@CjandPepe]

Do you cook down the tomatoes or just put on top? I was wondering how tomatoes would work in this dish!

[@tracyC7414]

Yes please!! More protein packed recipes!

[@stevenbarker2600]

I love how Dani is right to the point and so clear about this recipe. Plus it is delicious! Thank you!

[@kirstenkk6493]

A nurse I used to work with many years ago gave me a recipe similar to this but she used shredded chedder cheese and canned green chilis. It was so good.

[@1FREDARMSTRONG]

i was introduced to the use of CREAM SHERRY, as a condiment of sorts, when sautéing mushrooms and onions, 40 yrs ago, and having been using it ever since. it really adds great flavor to the mix. have found adding it to the mix once it is good and hot works really well. i usually add about one quarter to one third of a cup of sherry to a large skillet of the veggies.

[@maralfniqle5092]

A touch of nutmeg is amazing in this bake

[@tonyaelayan9353]

I tried your recipe tonight for dinner and it was absolutely delicious!!! I share a home with my fiancé and his father (two country boys) who are picky with their food. They both loved it and went back for seconds!!! Definitely making this again, thank you 🙏

[@laurelosbourn6973]

Yes please- I am interested in more high protein breakfast recipes! Thanks so much

[@susanb.3363]

Just got home from purchasing all I need for this casserole and would love to have more recipes of this nature. I'm gluten-free and very low carb so this is right up my alley. (note: I don't count carbs but try to stay under 20-25 gm daily. Being gluten-free helps with that goal). I'll be 75 in 4 months and I've been able to maintain a good weight and excellent hgA1c the past few years by limiting carbs. All of that said, I don't have grandkids, I live alone, eat on my own schedule so that makes it much easier. Much less snacking temptations.

[@jdm3111]

You might really enjoy this Channel too! Its all Gluten Free, Higher Protein (about 100g/day) and low carb/very clean ingredients and very well presented as well. www.youtube.com/@fitfoodieselma

[@BB-cs1je]

How did it turn out?anything you would change?

[@susanb.3363]

@@BB-cs1je Good! But gor me, I will omit mushrooms in the future. Otherwise...and yes. Definitely put a bit of hot sauce or salsa on top.

[@heartsaliveart]

As a diabetic, I'm always on the lookout for higher protein recipes since I need about 20 grams of protein for a meal so I hope you continue these higher protein recipes. Thank you for all the hard work you do. I really appreciate it.

[@sherylbahl8422]

Just made this for my husband and I for lunch. (Both of us have type 2 diabetes.) It is a keeper. I don’t consider myself to be a great cook, I’m adequate, but this makes me look like a chef! My husband loved it and gave me huge compliments! So happy I found you and this recipe on you tube. Will be checking out the rest of your videos!!!

[@kathyharvey6054]

I am going to try this. I would love to see more high protein recipes that are easy to meal prep.

[@andusgroup2317]

This is awesome! Low carb, well no carb really, for Type 2. I did everything in a rectangle cast iron dish, so one pot from start to finish. Added chopped pancetta pieces. I've added this to my regular arsenal of one pot dishes. THANK YOU.🤩🤪

[@instilltime2014]

Thank you for this excellent recipe. What makes your channel stand out is that you give helpful tips on how to prep the ingredients like showing us how to cut the broccoli and cauliflower flowerettes. I am not a very experienced cook so I find this incredibly valuable. Thank you so much!

[@jjcrazi]

FYI for those that don’t like cottage cheese, kwark/quark is an excellent alternative .. high protein content, much better taste, less salty

[@mysticseraph2213]

Five days in the fridge?! How awesome is that! As a single person, and so I don't get sick of it, I may need to halve the recipe, but still: what an awesome recipe to whip up on a Sunday to ensure some awesome, quick meals during the week; yum! EDIT: I"ve done this halved, with four servings (so about 1.5 eggs per serving) but I still keep the greens at about 120g. I blitz those in a food processor first, rather than wilting down in a pan. I also go for a mix of spinach and rocket (arugala) because I love the latter, but appreciate I need the former for health (blah 😅). I also omit the mushrooms because blech, for me at least. It is very green, but also very delicious. Highly recommended 😋

[@craigjeffries]

Mushrooms, feta, and cottage cheese?! I cannot wait to try this!!!

[@jackielucchesi6654]

Me too!!!!

[@kathleenerikson2856]

How do I find the recipe?

[@craigjeffries]

​@@kathleenerikson2856It's in the description of the video 😊.

[@tquirkyt7118]

✨ I’ve been making scrambled eggs with cottage cheese for years… So good! I cannot wait to try this casserole! We’ve always loved cottage cheese and have been eating it all of my 56 years… I’m so happy it is so popular these days, and with all these creative recipes… and ice cream …holy smokes!❤

[@itsmeanne]

I made this and WOW!!!!!!!! Have had to share the link to your chanel and this recipe three times already because everyone LOVES it so much!!!! Mmmmmmmmmmm thank you so much!!!!! 🥰👌👏👏👏👏👏

[@leannepenner7806]

Made this yesterday and was amazing! Normally I find quiche too heavy/dense when I make it but the addition of cottage cheese (I don’t like cottage cheese on its own) made it feel light and so much flavour. Thank you!!!

[@shawngeoffrion4754]

I cant wait to make this over the weekend. I would love to see more recipes like this, I am also trying to bump up my protein intake. I just found your channel about a month ago and I love all of your very informative information and delicious recipes. You bring it all to us with great energy and a smile, thank you!! I just turned 59 and the weight loss battle has been just that a battle. Up 3, down 2, up 4, down 2 and so it goes. Id like to shed this weight before turning 60, I have 70 pounds to loose. I am very fearful for my health. I have been a full time caretaker for the past 10 years of my aging and very sick parents and loss both of them, I am also raising my young grandchildren. I have lost myself somewhere in between all of this and trying to take care of me. Time to put the oxygen mask on so I can still take care of my family and myself.

[@7cats2]

That's a lot for one person...takes some strong shoulders 😊 I wish you the best of luck in your journey to find yourself again and to gain better health along the way 🥰

[@rhondaseitz2634]

shawngeoffrion4754 WOW! That’s a heavy load you’ve been carrying for a long time. And young grandchildren too? I hope you can carve out some time for yourself now and then. Give yourself the TLC you deserve 🥰

[@j.g.7054]

We are so very sorry for your loss my friend! You are an ANGEL! and you are going to meet all of your goal! I took care of my elderly parents as well - its alot of hard work but a labor of love and look at you - you are also raising grandchildren! G.B.! 60 is the new 40 my dear - you are going to meet those goals and find yourself. The fact that you stated your desires means that you WILL be sucessful as you love yourself also! We are rooting for you XXXOOO! You Go Girl!!!!!

[@stowie7733]

Not sure why you popped up on my feed but I sure am glad you did! Printed this recipe and will be shopping tomorrow morning for the ingredients. I’ll be making this soon!

[@melaniemcgarry5271]

After years of up and down weight and many different diets, I finally found Keto, lost 65lbs and have kept it off. I know it’s not for everyone but for myself and many others, it reset my metabolism so I no longer gain weight while eating a normal healthy(higher protein) diet. Good luck to you on your health journey!

[@TheRPer]

4:28 what an absolutely beautiful and flawless transition

[@az-cv1ql]

very impressive 😂

[@erinhoyos]

Yes please. More recipes just like this one!

[@trushah856]

Hi Dani!! Always fab. 🥰 I have a q pls. Since u buy block cheese how do u save it in your fridge or freezer and how long does it stay fresh? Perhaps a video idea - Maybe a 101 video on how to buy block cheeses, what to look out for, shredding methods and storage for longevity so we get both nutrition and most of our buck. Thank you 🙏🏼

[@dellarclausen1688]

Yes .Please . I need more ideas for whole food protein rich meals.

[@skoolie_life3261]

I just made this and I love it! I added red and green peppers.

[@gloriamontgomery6900]

Did you sauté them first or add them in raw?

[@skoolie_life3261]

@@gloriamontgomery6900 I sautéed them first with the other veggies.

[@francisthomlinson9062]

More please❤

[@Adogslife54]

I often use mushroom soil in gardening. I know how much manure is in it. I don’t care if mushrooms absorb water. I am washing them. The dish looks good, btw!

[@peaceful3250]

I made this recipe and really enjoyed it. I swapped mushrooms for bell pepper and used frozen spinach instead of fresh but otherwise as per recipe. This is so much easier than fiddling with muffin pans to make egg muffins. Thank you for a great recipe.

[@Whangdoodle18]

I made this today, and OMG! it was so good. I am surprised at myself, that I was able to make this, and so yummy 😋. Will be making this again, and again, and again. I am not a feta cheese fan, so broke up the mozzarella rounds that I had. Came out really cheese and yummy. Thank you for this lovely recipe ❤

[@ahnaahna7278]

I always enjoy your videos….and you speak so clearly. I’ve made notes here, and it is great to know more ways to use cottage cheese. We eat lots of whole eggs and healthy foods! Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thks Dani! Ahna. Atlanta Ga. 👏👏👏👏

[@leslieahunt6141]

I love the way you cook and the way you describe it so that everyone can do a great job with a healthful meal. This one looks absolutely delicious.

[@lorelynleisure4048]

This sounds amazing! I'd probably add swiss, cheddar and or bacon to the top too! A tip for people who are sensitive to oxalates, throw the spinach into boiling water and cook a couple minutes then drain, rinse and squeeze out as much water as possible. then chop it up and add it to the pan.

[@daybreaker444]

I love your extra comments they have been very helpful. And you don’t take long to go from one step to the other like some cooking videos were you fall asleep or you just want to leave them as quickly as possible? Lol. In other words great job.

[@mariaziarnik6909]

Nice suggestion of using the blender to blend the egg and cottage cheese. Texture might through some family off. I will be trying these to have them saved for on the go healthy breakfast

[@ninecila9150]

Love the difference in size different countries are used to 😂 That „small onion“ is considered a large one in my country - our small ones are about half the size 😅

[@amylynn3880]

I made this a couple days ago and it’s DELICIOUS!! 🤤 I blended the eggs and cottage cheese together since I was scared of the cottage cheese texture. I served it with avocado and now I’m excited to eat it every morning or even for lunch! Thanks Dani for another great recipe! 👏🏽👏🏽

Thank you so much for not talking to much and for the perfect proteins breakfast ❤

[@easternwashingtonresident3814]

Thank you so much for sharing this recipe! I have been sick for a while and the only food that appeals to me right now is scrambled eggs and cottage cheese! Just yesterday I was wondering if there were any great recipes with both. Today, like magic, your video appears!!!! I also love mushrooms, spinach and Feta cheese. I would love to see more videos like this one!

[@tinamerlot4403]

Thanks, Dani. These protein recipes will help on 2 fronts.

[@MG-ot2yr]

Looks wonderful. I do mushrooms same way, no washing, just wipe and very little to no oil, often just dry saute. And totally agree on feta blocks, very easy to just crumble, keeps longer in the brine and tastes better.

[@dianet5967]

I am going to make this recipe this weekend. I would love to see more of your recipes. Everything I have tried so far is delicious.

[@chris.b.georgakopoulos]

Hi Dani, I love your channel and recipes. Thank you so much for sharing this. This was delicious! I added a little fresh dill and scallions, and cut back on the onion to the recipe and it was my tribute to a spin on Spanakopita (Spinach Pie). Looking forward to seeing many more recipes, especially to the “Intuitive” playlist. 🙏🏻

[@victoriaogletree4669]

@anychaffey2048-got board with chicken too and baked Amish chicken thighs seasoning the meat and wrapping the skin back over it. I chose a wire copper short basket (used to bake French fries) with a pan to catch the drippings. Adding little drizzle of oil over chicken, placed tinfoil lightly over it at 350 ° for 30-35 minutes. The wire of the basket created a nice texture without the drying out of the meat. Then later used the bones, skin ect and added onion powder, little turmeric and pepper and boiled to down to make a nice broth 35min.then cooled to weed out bones skin and saved broth an tiny bits of chicken to make a lentil soup. Adding more veggies. Yum.
