Description

A creamy, protein-rich casserole that’s perfect for breakfast, brunch, or meal prep.


Ingredients

  • 8 large eggs
  • 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 to 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Optional add-ins (e.g. sautéed spinach, mushrooms, crumbled bacon)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the cottage cheese and milk.
  3. Stir in the cheese, salt, pepper, and any cooked add-ins.
  4. Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13-inch baking dish.
  5. Bake for 35-45 minutes until the center is set and lightly golden.
  6. Let rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For a smoother texture, use whole-milk cottage cheese or pulse low-fat in a food processor. Pre-cook vegetables to avoid a soggy casserole.
