Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives, plus extra for garnish
  • Butter for the dish

Method
 

  1. Whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until smooth, about 1 minute.
  2. Fold in the cheddar and chives with a spatula until just combined.
  3. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking dish with butter, pour in the egg mixture, and bake until the centre is just set, 30 to 35 minutes.
  4. Let the bake cool 5 minutes, then slice and scatter extra chives on top.

Notes

If doubling the recipe, bake in a 9x13-inch dish and add about 10 minutes to the bake time, checking for the same jiggle in the centre. Leftover squares reheat well wrapped in a damp paper towel.
