Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- Salt
- Pepper
- Sliced green onions (only the green parts)
- Fresh chopped parsley
- Cooking spray
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).
This ensures that your cottage cheese egg bake will cook evenly and thoroughly.
Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture
In a bowl, whisk together all the eggs until well blended.
Then, add cottage cheese, shredded cheese, pepper, salt, and the sliced green parts of the green onions to the egg mixture.
Mix all the ingredients until they are well combined.
Step 3: Prepare the Baking Dish
Lightly spray a 9×9 baking dish with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Once the dish is prepared, pour the egg mixture into the baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 4: Allow the Mixture to Rest
Let the mixture sit for about 20 to 30 minutes.
This resting period allows the flavors to develop and helps the cottage cheese to set, resulting in a better texture.
Step 5: Add Toppings and Bake
After the resting period, top the dish with sliced green onions and fresh chopped parsley for added flavor and color.
Then, place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until the mixture is set and lightly golden, which usually takes about 25-30 minutes.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the cottage cheese egg bake from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
Enjoy your delicious and nutritious dish!
