🔹 Servings: 2
🔹 Prep Time: 5 minutes
🔹 Cook Time: 15–20 minutes
🔹 Total Time: 20–25 minutes
✅ Ingredients:
4 large eggs
½ cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)
1 tbsp milk (optional, for creaminess)
Salt & pepper, to taste
Chopped herbs (such as parsley, chives, or basil)
1 tbsp butter or olive oil (for greasing)
Optional additions: diced tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, or any veggies you like
🔥 Instructions:
Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the Dish:
Grease a small baking dish or individual ramekins with butter or olive oil. You can also use a muffin tin for individual servings.
Whisk Eggs & Cottage Cheese:
In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs with the cottage cheese and milk (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Add Cheese & Veggies (Optional):
Stir in the shredded cheese and any veggies you like. You can also mix in extras like cooked bacon, spinach, or sautéed mushrooms for added flavor.
Pour and Bake:
Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish or ramekins. Place the dish in the oven and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.
Garnish and Serve:
Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh herbs like parsley, chives, or basil for a burst of freshness. Let the dish cool for a few minutes before serving.
🍽️ Serving Suggestions:
Serve with whole-grain toast or avocado slices for extra nutrients.
Pair with a light salad or some fruit for a well-rounded meal.
For an even heartier meal, serve with roasted potatoes or a side of crispy bacon.
Tips:
For a fluffier texture, beat the eggs more thoroughly and add a splash of milk or cream.
Add extra cheese on top halfway through baking if you want a cheesy, bubbly finish.
Make it vegetarian by loading up with veggies or serve it alongside a veggie-packed salad.
Enjoy!
