Instructions

  1. Step
    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a baking dish (about 8x8 inch pan) with Ontario butter.
  2. Step
    In a large bowl, crack 12 eggs and whisk them well until smooth. Add in Ontario cottage cheese and the grated Ontario cheddar cheese to the mixture. Then add in chopped kale, diced red bell pepper, and bacon or ham. Mix until everything is well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Step
    Pour the egg and cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to evenly distribute the add-ins, ensuring they are spread throughout the mixture.
  4. Step
    Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is set and golden on top. You can check doneness by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center—if it comes out clean, it’s ready.
  5. Step
    Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares. Serve warm, and enjoy!
