Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs
This recipe yields a nutritious, cheesy, and airy egg dish, ideal for breakfast or brunch.
Ingredients
– 6 large eggs
– 2 cups cottage cheese (approximately 450 grams)
– 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– Optional: chopped fresh herbs (such as chives, parsley, or dill), a splash of hot sauce, or paprika for added flavor
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish (approximately 8×8 inches) with nonstick spray or a small amount of butter to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are smooth. Incorporate the cottage cheese and grated cheddar cheese, mixing until fully combined. Season with salt and pepper, and add any optional herbs or spices as desired.
3. Bake: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top has turned a golden brown.
4. Serve: Allow the dish to cool slightly before cutting it into squares. Serve warm.
This dish is delightful on its own or accompanied by toast, fresh vegetables, or a side of fruit. Enjoy!
