Ingredients
4 large eggs
1 cup cottage cheese
½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
2 tbsp milk (optional, for extra creaminess)
1 tbsp butter or olive oil (for greasing)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
½ tsp paprika or chili flakes (optional)
Optional Add-Ins:
Fresh spinach (chopped)
Mushrooms (lightly sautéed)
Cherry tomatoes (halved)
Cooked chicken or turkey (diced)
Fresh herbs like parsley, dill, or chives
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly grease a small baking dish or individual ramekins with butter or olive oil.
2. Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together:
Cottage cheese
Eggs
Milk (if using)
Garlic powder, salt, and pepper
Whisk until mostly smooth—some texture from the cottage cheese is perfectly fine.
3. Add Flavor & Texture
Fold in the shredded cheese along with your favorite add-ins like veggies or cooked protein.
4. Bake to Perfection
Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and sprinkle a little extra cheese on top.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
5. Serve & Enjoy
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing or scooping. Serve warm and enjoy every creamy, savory bite
