Description
This delightful dish combines the rich flavors of cottage cheese and mixed berries to create a protein-packed breakfast casserole that’s not only simple to prepare but also extraordinarily versatile.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Full-Fat Cottage Cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- ½ cup Almond Flour
- ¼ cup Honey or Maple Syrup (or sugar-free alternative)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1 teaspoon Lemon Zest
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 2 cups Mixed Berries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven heats up, grease your baking dish thoroughly to prevent any sticking during the baking process.
- In a blender or mixing bowl, combine the full-fat cottage cheese with the eggs. Blend or whisk until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Transfer the blended mixture into a large bowl. Next, add in the almond flour, your choice of sweetener (honey or maple syrup), vanilla extract, lemon zest, and baking powder. Mix these ingredients together until they are well combined.
- Now it’s time to gently fold in your mixed berries. Be careful not to overmix.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly. Place it in the oven and let it bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for at least 20-30 minutes.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, making it a great make-ahead breakfast.
