Description

A protein-packed, cheesy delight—perfect for breakfast or brunch!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 2 cups cottage cheese (about 450g)
  • 1 cup sharp cheddar, grated
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  • Optional: Chopped spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms, bacon, or ham
  • Dairy-free option: Use silken tofu or a dairy-free cottage cheese alternative
  • Lighter option: Choose reduced-fat cheddar and cottage cheese

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even baking and helps create a golden, slightly crispy top on your Cottage Cheese Eggs.

Step 2: Grease the Baking Dish

Lightly coat a medium baking dish with butter, oil, or non-stick cooking spray. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.

Step 3: Mix the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl:

  • Crack the 6 eggs and whisk them until smooth.
  • Add 2 cups of cottage cheese and 1 cup of grated cheddar.
  • Stir until fully combined and creamy.

Step 4: Season & Customize

  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • If desired, mix in chopped vegetables (spinach, bell peppers, mushrooms) or cooked meats (bacon, ham, or sausage) for extra flavor.

Step 5: Pour & Bake

  • Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the top is golden and set.

Step 6: Let It Cool & Serve

  • Allow the dish to cool for 5 minutes before slicing.
  • Serve with toast, fresh fruit, or a side salad for a complete meal.

Notes

  • For extra creaminess: Blend the cottage cheese before mixing it with the eggs.
  • For a fluffier texture: Beat the eggs separately before adding the cottage cheese.
  • For meal prep: Store leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
