Here’s a simple, protein-packed recipe for Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs — fluffy, savory, and perfect for breakfast meal prep. You can bake them in a casserole dish or as individual muffin cups.

🍳🧀 Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs

Ingredients (4–6 servings)

8 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese (any style; small-curd works best)
½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss)
¼–½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
½ tsp onion powder (optional)
Optional mix-ins:
- ½ cup diced ham or cooked bacon
- ½ cup spinach
- ¼ cup diced green onion
- ¼ cup diced bell pepper
- 1–2 tbsp chopped herbs (parsley, chives)

🥣 Instructions

1. Preheat Oven

Heat to 350°F (175°C).

2. Mix the eggs

In a bowl, whisk together:

eggs
cottage cheese
shredded cheese
salt, pepper
optional seasonings

Stir in any add-ins you like.

3. Bake

Option A: Casserole Style

Pour mixture into a lightly greased 8×8 or 9×9 baking dish.
Bake 30–40 minutes, or until the center is fully set and the top is lightly golden.

Option B: Egg Muffins

Grease a muffin tin very well or use silicone liners.
Fill cups ¾ full.
Bake 18–22 minutes, until puffed and set.

4. Rest

Let cool 5–10 minutes before slicing or removing from pan — they firm up as they cool.

⭐ Tips & Variations

Extra fluffy

Blend the cottage cheese in a blender before adding — creates a smooth, quiche-like texture.

Keto-friendly

Use full-fat cottage cheese and add extra cheese or bacon.

Veggie mix-in ideas

Sauté mushrooms, spinach, onions, zucchini, or peppers before adding so they don’t release water while baking.

Spicy

Add ¼ tsp chili flakes, a splash of hot sauce, or pepper jack cheese.
