# Directions:

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.
