• 3 scallions, sliced

DIRECTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400F and place rack in center position.

• Spray a 9x9-inch casserole dish with nonstick baking spray.

• Spread the bacon and 3 scallions over the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.

• In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, heavy cream, 4 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese, and sriracha.

• Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bacon and scallions.

• Sprinkle the top with the remaining cheddar cheese and scallions.

• Bake, uncovered, for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through (a knife inserted in the center of the casserole should come out clean); remove from oven and rest for 5 minutes before serving.
