Ingredients (Full List Below):

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh herbs (optional)

Directions:

Preheat & Prepare
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small baking dish or ramekin to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

Whisk the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until the mixture is smooth and airy.

Add Cottage Cheese & Seasonings
Stir in cottage cheese, salt, and pepper to the eggs, blending for a creamy, savory flavor.

Pour Into Baking Dish
Transfer the mixture to your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

Optional: Add Cheese
For extra creaminess, top the mixture with shredded cheese. It will melt into a gooey, golden finish.

Bake & Set
Bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.

Garnish & Serve
For added flavor, garnish with fresh herbs, then serve warm.


Expert Tips and Tricks:

  • Add sautéed spinach, diced tomatoes, or bell peppers to the egg mixture before baking for an extra burst of flavor.
  • Use different cheeses like feta, mozzarella, or cheddar to vary the taste.
  • Be sure not to over-bake the eggs. Check around the 10-minute mark to ensure they stay moist and tender.

Recipe Variations & Substitutions:

  • Dairy-Free: Swap the cottage cheese for a dairy-free alternative and use plant-based cheese.
  • Vegetarian: Add cooked mushrooms, spinach, or onions for a veggie-packed twist.
  • Low-Carb: Omit the cheese for a lighter version or opt for a lower-carb cheese like goat cheese.

Serving & Pairing Suggestions:

Pair these baked cottage cheese eggs with toasted whole-grain bread, fresh avocado slices, or a side of fruit for a well-rounded, nutritious breakfast. For an added boost, enjoy them with a cup of coffee or freshly squeezed juice.


Storage & Reheating Tips:

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute.


4 FAQs:

1. Can I make these baked cottage cheese eggs ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the egg mixture in advance and refrigerate it. Bake when you’re ready to enjoy them.

2. Can I use non-fat cottage cheese?
Absolutely! Non-fat cottage cheese works well, though it may be a little less creamy than full-fat options.

3. What can I serve with these eggs?
They pair wonderfully with toast, fresh fruit, or a light side salad for a balanced, delicious breakfast.

4. Can I use a different type of cheese?
Definitely! Feel free to experiment with mozzarella, cheddar, or goat cheese based on your preferences.


Conclusion:
Baked cottage cheese eggs are a quick, tasty, and nutritious breakfast to keep you fueled all day long. Whether you’re sticking with the simple ingredients or adding your own personal touch, this dish is a must-try. Perfect for busy mornings or leisurely brunches!
