Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup chopped vegetables or cooked protein (optional)
  • 1 tsp butter or oil, for greasing

Method
 

  1. Heat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish. Whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until combined.
  2. Fold in the cheddar and any optional add-ins. Pour the mixture into the prepared dish.
  3. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until edges are puffed and golden and the center no longer jiggles.
  4. Let rest for 5 minutes, then slice or scoop onto plates. Serve hot.

Notes

Let the casserole rest before cutting; it helps the slices hold together. The eggs will puff high in the oven and deflate a bit as they cool, which is completely normal. Feel free to swap in any cheese or cooked vegetables you like.
