Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for best texture)
-
4 large eggs
-
¼ cup heavy cream or unsweetened almond milk
-
½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
-
1 tbsp butter (for greasing the dish)
-
Salt and pepper to taste
-
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
-
½ tsp dried parsley or chives (optional for flavor and garnish)
-
Optional add-ins: cooked bacon bits, spinach, diced bell peppers, or mushrooms
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small baking dish or four individual ramekins with butter.
-
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and seasonings until well combined. Stir in the shredded cheese and any optional mix-ins.
-
Pour the mixture evenly into the baking dish or ramekins, leaving a little space at the top as it will puff slightly during baking.
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is golden and the eggs are set but still tender. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs or extra cheese if desired.
