Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Seasonings

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to get it ready for baking the egg mixture.
  2. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a small baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy serving.
  3. Mix Cottage Cheese: Place 1 cup of cottage cheese into a medium mixing bowl as the base for your eggs.
  4. Add Eggs: Crack 4 large eggs into the bowl with the cottage cheese to combine protein-rich ingredients.
  5. Whisk Eggs and Cheese: Whisk the eggs and cottage cheese together until they are thoroughly blended for a smooth texture.
  6. Add Milk: Pour in 1/2 cup of milk and continue whisking until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.
  7. Incorporate Cheddar Cheese: Stir in 1/4 cup of grated cheddar cheese evenly distributing it throughout the mixture for added flavor.
  8. Add Butter: Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the mixture and mix to incorporate its richness into the batter.
  9. Season Mixture: Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon onion powder to the mixture for balanced seasoning.
  10. Combine Seasonings: Mix all ingredients thoroughly ensuring the seasonings are fully integrated.
  11. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it evenly for consistent cooking.
  12. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
  13. Check Doneness: Test by inserting a knife or toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when fully cooked.
  14. Cool Slightly: Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool a few minutes to set further and avoid burning.
  15. Add Parsley Garnish: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley over the top for a fresh, colorful finish.
  16. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy your warm, creamy baked cottage cheese eggs!

Notes

  • For a richer texture, you can use whole milk or cream instead of regular milk.
  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or Swiss cheese for a different flavor.
  • Add chopped vegetables like spinach or bell peppers to boost nutrition and flavor.
  • Ensure not to overbake to keep the eggs moist and tender.
  • This dish can be prepared in advance and reheated gently before serving.
