Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano (optional)

Topping

  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Others

  • 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a small baking dish with butter to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together cottage cheese, eggs, milk, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano until well combined. This mixture provides a creamy, flavorful base for the bake.
  3. Assemble in Baking Dish: Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish and evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top to add a delightful cheesy crust as it bakes.
  4. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the eggs are set through and the top is lightly golden, indicating it is cooked perfectly.
  5. Rest and Garnish: Remove the dish from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to settle and the texture to firm up slightly, making it easier to serve. Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and freshness.

Notes

  • You can substitute dried oregano with other herbs like thyme or basil to vary the flavor.
  • Use low-fat or skim milk to reduce fat content if desired.
  • Ensure eggs are fully cooked and set before removing from the oven to prevent runniness.
  • This dish pairs well with a fresh salad or whole-grain toast for a complete meal.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red chili flakes or smoked paprika.
