Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large  eggs
  • ½ cup  cottage cheese
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon  salt
  • ¼ teaspoon  black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon  garlic powder
  • chives or green onions, cherry tomatoes (halved

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or ramekins with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Stir in the cottage cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.
  3. If using cherry tomatoes, fold them into the egg mixture. Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish, ensuring an even distribution. Sprinkle shredded cheese on top if you prefer an extra cheesy dish.
  4. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and slightly golden on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  5. Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle chopped chives or green onions on top for a fresh finish. Serve warm with a side of toast, avocado, or fresh greens.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Eggs — Fresh eggs yield the best flavor and texture.
  • Don’t Overbake — Keep an eye on the oven to avoid dry eggs. The center should be just set.
  • Customize the Texture — If you prefer creamier eggs, stir in an extra tablespoon of cottage cheese.
  • Make Ahead — Prepare the mixture the night before and bake in the morning for a quick breakfast.
