Ingredients
Eggs
- Use fresh large eggs for the best texture. Eggs are the base of this recipe so freshness really matters here.
Cottage Cheese
- Full-fat cottage cheese gives the creamiest texture but low-fat versions also work well. Small curd cottage cheese blends more smoothly into the eggs.
Cheddar Cheese
- Sharp cheddar adds a rich savory flavor. If you prefer something milder, mozzarella works too.
Spinach
- Fresh spinach adds color and freshness. Frozen spinach can also work but make sure to squeeze out extra water first.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease your baking dish lightly with olive oil or butter so the eggs do not stick.
Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture
- In a large bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them well until smooth.
- Add the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, chopped spinach, onion, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Mix everything together until evenly combined.
Step 3: Pour Into Baking Dish
- Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
- If you want a golden cheesy top, sprinkle a little extra cheddar on top.
Step 4: Bake
- Bake for 30–35 minutes or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
- The eggs should look puffed and slightly firm in the middle.
Step 5: Cool Slightly and Serve
- Let the baked eggs cool for about 5 minutes before slicing.
- Serve warm with toast, avocado, or fresh fruit.
