Here’s a simple and delicious recipe for Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs—a protein-packed, creamy, and satisfying breakfast or brunch dish.
Ingredients (serves 2)
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup (120g) cottage cheese
- 2–3 tbsp milk (optional, for creamier texture)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or dill), chopped
- Optional add-ins: diced tomatoes, spinach, bell peppers, or cooked bacon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven:
- 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a small baking dish or individual ramekins with butter or cooking spray.
- Prepare the cottage cheese mixture:
- In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, milk (if using), salt, pepper, and any herbs or add-ins.
- Add the eggs:
- Crack the eggs into the baking dish or divide among ramekins.
- Spoon the cottage cheese mixture around and slightly over the eggs, leaving the yolks mostly exposed if desired.
- Bake:
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking (less time for runny yolks, more for fully set).
- Serve:
- Sprinkle with extra herbs or a little grated cheese if desired.
- Serve warm with toast, avocado, or roasted vegetables.
This dish is creamy, protein-rich, and versatile—you can switch up vegetables, spices, or cheese depending on what you have on hand.
I can also give you a one-pan veggie-packed version that makes enough for 4–6 servings if you want to meal prep. Do you want me to do that?
