Try this easy Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs recipe for a high-protein, nutritious breakfast that’s both delicious and filling.

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing the baking dish)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika for seasoning

Optional Add-Ins: Diced tomatoes, bell peppers, or mushrooms for extra flavor.

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.
  2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
    In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, and shredded cheddar cheese (if using). Season with salt, pepper, and optional herbs or spices.
  3. Add Vegetables:
    Stir in the chopped spinach and any additional vegetables of your choice. For more texture, sauté the vegetables briefly before adding them to the mixture.
  4. Bake the Mixture:
    Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and slightly golden on top.
  5. Serve:
    Let the baked cottage cheese eggs cool for a few minutes. Cut into slices or squares and serve warm.

Notes

  • Adjust the seasoning and add more herbs or spices to suit your taste.
  • If preparing for kids, cut the baked eggs into bite-sized pieces for easy eating.
