Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs

Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)
  • 1/4 cup milk (or heavy cream for extra richness)
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any cheese you like)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp chopped chives or green onions (optional)
  • Cooking spray or butter (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin or small baking dish.
  2. Whisk eggs in a mixing bowl until well beaten. Add cottage cheese, milk, shredded cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Pour the mixture evenly into greased muffin cups or into a small casserole dish.
  4. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and the tops are golden.
  5. Remove from oven and let cool slightly. Sprinkle with chopped chives or green onions if using.
  6. Serve warm – with toast, avocado, or just as they are for a quick protein-packed breakfast.
