Ingredients
4 large eggs
1/2 cup cottage cheese (preferably full-fat for a creamier texture)
1/4 cup milk (or any plant-based milk)
1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
Salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Fresh herbs (such as parsley, chives, or dill), chopped (optional)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
1/4 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
Directions
Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or individual ramekins with olive oil or butter to prevent the eggs from sticking.
Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, and milk until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder, if using. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and the cottage cheese is fully incorporated.
Bake: Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish or ramekins. Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 20–25 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top. The exact time will vary depending on the size of your dish and your oven, so check after 15 minutes and keep an eye on the eggs.
Finishing Touches: Once the eggs are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. If desired, sprinkle with freshly chopped herbs for added flavor and freshness.
