Tear the prosciutto slices into smaller pieces and distribute them over the vegetables. Add the bread and stir everything together. Leave that to cool while you whisk the eggs.
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, the remaining ¾ teaspoon of salt, and several generous grinds of black pepper.
Add ½ cup of the cheese and stir again. Pour the eggs over the vegetables and scatter the remaining cheese on top.
Place the casserole in the oven and bake until it is just set with no obvious liquid remaining for about 35 minutes.
