Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs Recipe

Prep Time: 10 mins

Cook Time: 25-30 mins
Servings: 2-4

Ingredients

4 large eggs

1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

1/4 cup milk (or cream for richer texture)

1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)

1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional)

1/4 tsp paprika or chili flakes (optional for heat)

1-2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or dill – optional)

1/4 cup chopped spinach, cooked bacon, or veggies (optional mix-ins)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a small baking dish (8×8-inch or similar) or individual ramekins.

In a bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.

Stir in cottage cheese, milk, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings or herbs.

Fold in any additional ingredients (spinach, bacon, veggies).

Pour mixture into the prepared baking dish or ramekins.

Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until eggs are fully set and the top is slightly golden.
(Check by inserting a knife — it should come out clean.)

Cool slightly, then slice and serve warm.
Pairs well with toast, avocado, or a fresh salad.

Tips

Use ricotta instead of cottage cheese for a smoother texture.

Add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or zucchini for more nutrients.

To make it heartier, mix in diced ham or cooked sausage.
