Description
A simple oven-baked dish combining creamy cottage cheese and eggs into a light, protein-packed casserole that’s perfect for busy mornings or casual brunches.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese (whole or low-fat)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup chopped cooked veggies (optional)
- 1/4 cup grated cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or four individual ramekins.
- Whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper until mostly smooth.
- If using, stir in chopped veggies or grated cheese.
- Pour the mixture into the greased dish and bake for 20–25 minutes until the top is lightly golden and the center has a faint wobble.
- Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing; serve warm.
Notes
Remove from the oven when the center still jiggles slightly, as it will finish setting while resting.
