Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs:

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional toppings: chopped green onions, diced bell peppers, spinach, cooked bacon or sausage, cherry tomatoes, or herbs (like parsley or chives)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish or individual ramekins with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. Mix the Base:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.
  3. Add Optional Toppings:
    • If using any vegetables or meats, fold them into the egg mixture. You can customize this dish with whatever toppings you prefer!

 

  1. Pour into Baking Dish:
    • Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish or divide it evenly among individual ramekins.
  2. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  3. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the baked eggs cool for a few minutes before slicing (if in a baking dish) or serving (if in ramekins). Garnish with additional toppings if desired.

Tips for Perfect Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs:

  • Add Flavor with Spices: Feel free to experiment with different spices and herbs to customize the flavor profile. Smoked paprika, cumin, or Italian seasoning can add a nice touch.
  • Make Ahead: This dish can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven for a quick breakfast option.
