When I say this recipe is easy, I mean it. Cottage cheese, eggs, and the rest of the ingredients are all whisked together in one big bowl. I included green onions and swiss cheese in my version here, but it’s super simple to customize to your liking. Switch up the cheese or add other veggies, meat, or seasoning to suit your taste. It’s hard to go wrong.
