Here’s a simple and high-protein breakfast recipe for Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs—creamy, satisfying, and perfect for starting your day with energy.
Ingredients (Serves 2)
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
- 2 tbsp milk or cream (optional for extra creaminess)
- ¼ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tsp olive oil or butter (for greasing)
- Optional add-ins: chopped spinach, cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, herbs (parsley, chives)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: 350°F (175°C). Grease a small baking dish or two ramekins with olive oil or butter.
- Prepare the egg mixture:
- In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cottage cheese, milk (if using), salt, and pepper until smooth.
- Stir in shredded cheese and any optional veggies or herbs.
- Bake:
- Pour the mixture into the greased dish or divide among ramekins.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until eggs are set and slightly golden on top.
- Serve:
- Let it cool for 2–3 minutes, then slice or scoop into portions.
- Serve with whole-grain toast or avocado for extra nutrients.
💡 Tips:
- Add cooked bacon or smoked salmon for a protein boost.
- You can make this ahead and refrigerate; just reheat in the oven or microwave.
- For a fluffier texture, separate egg whites and beat them before folding into the mixture.
If you want, I can also give a one-pan version that cooks on the stovetop in 10 minutes—no oven needed.
Do you want me to share that quick version?
