Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs are an easy and protein-packed breakfast option that comes together in minutes. Combining creamy cottage cheese with eggs, this dish is perfect for a healthy start to the day. It’s versatile, allowing you to add vegetables, herbs, or even a sprinkle of cheese to customize the flavors.
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd works best)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped spinach or any leafy green (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter (for greasing)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small baking dish with olive oil or butter.
- Prepare the egg mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, spinach (if using), salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well combined.
- Pour and bake: Pour the egg mixture into the greased baking dish and smooth the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and lightly golden on top.
- Serve: Let cool for a few minutes, then slice and serve warm. You can enjoy these on their own or with a side of toast or fresh vegetables.
Tips:
- For added flavor, sprinkle shredded cheddar or mozzarella on top before baking.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwav
