Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Optional additions
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives or parsley
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Equipment

  • oven
  • 8x8 inch baking dish or pie plate
  • medium bowl
  • whisk

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8 inch baking dish or pie plate.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten.
  3. Add the cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper to the beaten eggs and whisk gently until just combined.
  4. If using, stir in any fresh herbs, shredded cheese, or other desired add-ins.
  5. Pour the egg mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set in the center and lightly golden brown; a knife inserted should come out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

Full-fat cottage cheese and cream will add more richness to the dish. Do not overmix the egg mixture, as a few small cottage cheese lumps are desired for texture. The resting period helps the eggs firm up before serving.
