Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs

Serves 2

Prep time: 10 mins

Cook time: 15-20 mins

Ingredients:

1/2 cup cottage cheese

2 large eggs

1/4 cup chopped onion

1/4 cup chopped bell pepper (any color)

1/4 cup chopped spinach

1/4 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional: 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Monterey Jack, etc.)

Directions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) . Lightly grease a baking dish or ramekins with cooking spray or butter.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and slightly frothy.

Stir in the cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese (if using), salt, pepper, garlic powder, and fresh herbs. Mix until well combined.

If adding vegetables, meat, or extra cheese, fold them into the mixture at this stage.

Step 3: Bake

Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish or divide it evenly among greased ramekins for individual portions.

Bake for 25–30 minutes , or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden. To check doneness, insert a knife into the center—it should come out clean.

Step 4: Serve

Let the baked eggs cool for 5 minutes before slicing or serving. Garnish with additional fresh herbs, a sprinkle of Parmesan, or a dollop of sour cream if desired.

Why This Recipe Works

Cottage Cheese Magic : Adds creaminess and moisture while boosting the protein content.

Oven-Baked Simplicity : Baking ensures even cooking and a custard-like texture.

Variations to Try

Veggie-Packed : Stir in sautéed spinach, mushrooms, or roasted red peppers.

Cheesy Delight : Add shredded cheddar, feta, or Gruyère for extra gooeyness.

Breakfast Casserole : Layer cooked sausage, bacon, or ham with the egg mixture for a hearty casserole.

Low-Carb Option : Skip the add-ins or use low-carb veggies like zucchini or kale.

Spicy Kick : Add diced jalapeños, red pepper flakes, or hot sauce for heat.

Tips for Success

Blend for Smoothness : For a silkier texture, blend the eggs and cottage cheese in a blender or food processor before baking.

Don’t Overbake : Remove the dish from the oven when the center is just set to avoid dryness
