Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease a 9-inch pie dish or an 8×8-inch baking dish with cooking spray or butter.

In a food processor, blend the cottage cheese until smooth.

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and then combine with the blended cottage cheese, Parmesan, chives, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Fold in any optional add-ins like diced bell peppers, spinach, or sun-dried tomatoes.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Bake for 15–17 minutes until the edges are set and the center has a slight jiggle.

Let it rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
