Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish (around 8×8 inches) or individual ramekins with butter or cooking spray.

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until fully blended.

Stir in the cottage cheese, milk, salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings or add-ins you like.

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish or ramekins.

Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly golden.

Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.

Notes

This recipe is great for meal prep—just store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days and reheat gently.
Add-ins like spinach, cooked bacon, or sautéed mushrooms work well too.

Make it low-carb and keto-friendly by skipping any milk and using full-fat cottage cheese.
