Equipment

  • Oven
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk
  • ramekins or small baking dish
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 0.5 cup cottage cheese (2% or full-fat)
  • 0.25 cup milk or cream (optional)
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 0.5 tsp garlic powder (optional)
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan or shredded cheddar (optional)
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or dill)
  • 0.5 cup diced vegetables (spinach, tomatoes, bell peppers, mushrooms) – optional
  • 0.25 cup cooked bacon bits or diced ham – optional
  • 0.25 cup shredded cheese for topping – optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease four ramekins, a small baking dish, or a muffin tin with olive oil or nonstick spray.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk (if using), salt, pepper, and garlic powder until smooth.
  • Fold in herbs, vegetables, or proteins of your choice. Mix until evenly distributed.
  • Divide the mixture into the prepared ramekins or dish. Top with shredded cheese if using. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the eggs are just set and golden.
  • Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with toast, avocado, or salad if desired.

Notes

Use full-fat cottage cheese for extra creaminess. Don’t overbake—eggs should be just set. You can make this in ramekins or one large dish. Perfect for freezing and reheating. Add your favorite mix-ins like spinach, mushrooms, bacon, or cheddar.
