Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons milk or cream
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Add-ins

  • Fresh herbs such as chives, parsley, dill, or basil
  • Vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, or tomatoes (diced or sautéed)
  • Shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese for topping
  • Spices such as chili flakes or smoked paprika
  • Cooked bacon or ham chunks for a meaty addition

Instructions

  1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s perfectly heated by the time your mixture is ready.
  2. Combine the Eggs and Cottage Cheese: In a mixing bowl, whisk together your eggs, cottage cheese, and a splash of milk or cream until smooth and evenly blended.
  3. Season the Mixture: Add salt, pepper, and any herbs or spices you prefer, stirring gently to distribute the flavors throughout the mixture.
  4. Pour into a Baking Dish: Grease a small casserole dish or individual ramekins lightly, then pour in the egg and cottage cheese blend evenly.
  5. Bake Until Set: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and lightly golden on top.
  6. Cool and Serve: Let your baked cottage cheese eggs sit for a few minutes after baking to firm up a bit, then serve warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for better creaminess and flavor.
  • Don’t overmix to keep a light texture; gently fold ingredients instead of whisking vigorously.
  • Watch the baking time carefully to avoid undercooking (runny) or overcooking (dry) eggs.
  • A splash of cream or milk helps keep the eggs tender and moist.
  • Experiment with fresh herbs to brighten the dish’s flavor.
