Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

For Greasing

  • Butter or nonstick spray for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, lemon zest, lemon juice, cornstarch, and salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform in texture.
  3. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh blueberries into the blended mixture using a spatula to evenly distribute them without breaking the berries.
  4. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the greased baking dish and smooth the top to ensure even baking.
  5. Bake the Dish: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges have turned a golden color.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the bake from the oven and let it cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature for a perfect breakfast treat.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh blueberries with frozen ones, but do not thaw before adding to avoid excess moisture.
  • For a dairy-free version, consider using a plant-based cottage cheese alternative.
  • Adjust the maple syrup amount to taste for more or less sweetness.
  • If you prefer a more lemony flavor, add extra lemon zest or a splash more lemon juice.
  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; reheat gently in the microwave or oven.
