Ingredients
- Eggs: 6 large
- Cottage Cheese: 2 cups (about 450 grams)
- Sharp Cheddar Cheese: grated, 1 cup
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Ensuring your oven is preheated will help the dish cook evenly and achieve the perfect texture.
Step 2: Prepare the Baking Dish
Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or a small amount of butter. This will prevent the eggs and cheese from sticking to the dish and make for easy cleanup.
Step 3: Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the 6 large eggs, 2 cups of cottage cheese, and 1 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese. Stir until all the ingredients are well blended. The mixture should be evenly distributed with no large lumps.
Step 4: Season to Taste
Add salt and pepper to the egg and cheese mixture to taste. You can also add other seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, or fresh herbs like chives or parsley for extra flavor.
Step 5: Pour into Baking Dish
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 6: Bake
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is golden brown. To check if the eggs are done, insert a knife into the center of the dish. If it comes out clean, the eggs are cooked through.
Step 7: Serve
Remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. This dish pairs wonderfully with toast, a fresh salad, or even a side of fruit.
