🧀 Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs (High-Protein Breakfast)
Soft, fluffy, and very high in protein—this is basically a mix between a crustless quiche and a protein bake.
🥣 Ingredients (2–3 servings)
4 large eggs
200 g cottage cheese
1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or mix)
1/2 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
1 handful spinach (fresh or frozen, squeezed dry)
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt & black pepper to taste
1 tbsp olive oil or butter (for greasing)
Optional add-ins (for more flavor)
Diced tomatoes
Mushrooms
Turkey/chicken pieces
Chili flakes for spice
🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven
    Set oven to 180°C (350°F)
    Grease a small baking dish or oven-safe pan
  2. Mix the base
    In a bowl, whisk:
    eggs
    cottage cheese
    salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika
    👉 Don’t over-blend—slightly chunky cottage cheese gives better texture.
  3. Add extras
    Stir in spinach, onion, and any optional ingredients
    Add shredded cheese last and mix gently
  4. Bake
    Pour mixture into baking dish
    Bake for 25–35 minutes
    It’s ready when:
    top is golden
    center is set (not liquid)
  5. Rest & serve
    Let it cool 5–10 minutes
    Slice into squares and serve

    🔥 Tips for best result
    Use full-fat cottage cheese for creamier texture
    Add a little milk if you want it softer
    Don’t overbake or it becomes rubbery
    Works great meal-prep (keeps 3–4 days in fridge)
