Ingredients

Main Ingredients

4 large large eggs The base of the dish, providing structure and fluffiness.
1 cup cottage cheese Adds creaminess and a protein boost.
1/2 cup shredded cheese Like cheddar or mozzarella, enhances flavor and texture.
1/4 cup milk Makes the dish even creamier; can be substituted with non-dairy milk.
Salt and pepper Season to taste; feel free to experiment with herbs too.
Optional: diced vegetables Like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrients.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined and frothy.
Stir in the cottage cheese, then add the shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. If using vegetables, fold in gently.

Baking

Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20–25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.
Check for doneness at the 20-minute mark by inserting a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean.
If not done, continue baking for another 5 minutes.

Serving

Allow to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
Consider topping with herbs or salsa for added flavor.
