Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Preheating ensures the eggs cook evenly and have the perfect fluffy texture.
Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together:
6 large eggs
2 cups of cottage cheese
1 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese
Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the cheese is evenly distributed.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Optional: Enhance the flavor with garlic powder, onion powder, or fresh herbs.
Stir in spinach, mushrooms, bell peppers, bacon, or ham for extra nutrition.
Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.
To check doneness, insert a knife in the center—if it comes out clean, it’s ready!
Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing. Pair it with:
Avocado toast for healthy fats.
A side salad for extra freshness.
Fresh fruit for natural sweetness.
