Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (small or large curd)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup milk or cream
  • 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh spinach, tomatoes, or bell peppers (optional)
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small baking dish (about 8×8 inches or similar) with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Mix the Egg Mixture:
    • In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and garlic powder (if using). Stir in the cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and any optional vegetables.
  3. Pour into the Dish:
    • Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  4. Bake:
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.
  5. Garnish and Serve:
    • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley or chives before serving. Slice into portions and enjoy warm!

Notes

  • Customize with cooked sausage, bacon, or ham for added protein.
  • Use your favorite cheese blend for different flavors.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven.
