Ah, baked cottage cheese eggs! 🥚🧀 This is a healthy, protein-packed breakfast or brunch idea. It’s basically eggs baked with creamy cottage cheese, sometimes with veggies, herbs, or spices, and can be done in individual ramekins or a bigger dish.
Here’s a simple breakdown:
Ingredients:
- Eggs – usually 2–4, depending on servings
- Cottage cheese – adds creaminess and protein
- Milk or cream – optional, for extra creaminess
- Vegetables – like spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, or bell peppers
- Seasonings – salt, pepper, herbs (parsley, chives, or dill)
- Cheese topping – optional, like shredded cheddar or parmesan
Basic Method:
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F).
- Prepare a baking dish or individual ramekins by lightly greasing with butter or oil.
- Mix eggs and cottage cheese (and milk if using) in a bowl. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Add veggies to the dish or ramekins.
- Pour the egg-cottage cheese mixture over the veggies.
- Sprinkle cheese on top if you like.
- Bake for about 20–25 minutes, until eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
💡 Tips:
- For extra fluffiness, you can whisk the egg whites separately and fold them in.
- Serve with toast, avocado, or a side salad.
