Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for greasing)

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar, mozzarella, or feta cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes, smoked paprika, or hot sauce
  • 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (dill, parsley, or chives)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Your Baking Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your baking dish or individual ramekins with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking and add richness.
  2. Mix Eggs and Cottage Cheese: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese until smooth and creamy. Season gently with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add Optional Ingredients: Fold in any chosen mix-ins such as chopped herbs, vegetables, or spices, distributing them evenly for consistent flavor.
  4. Pour and Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared dish, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden around the edges.
  5. Serve Warm: Let the baked eggs cool for a few minutes before slicing or scooping to allow them to set perfectly for serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier texture and better flavor.
  • Whisk eggs thoroughly to achieve a fluffier, more uniform bake.
  • Check the eggs starting at 20 minutes to avoid overbaking and dryness.
  • Add fresh herbs just before serving to preserve bright flavors.
  • Grease your baking dish well with oil or butter to prevent sticking.
