Ingredients Needed

How to Make Our Baked Cottage Cheese Eggs

  1. Preheat oven: Set to 375°F (190°C). Grease a small baking dish or ramekins.
  2. Mix base: In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, heavy cream (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Add eggs: Crack eggs into the mixture and stir gently, keeping some yolk intact if you like a creamier texture.
  4. Bake: Pour mixture into the prepared dish and bake for 15–18 minutes, or until eggs are set but still slightly soft in the center.
  5. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs or a sprinkle of shredded cheese, and enjoy warm.

Tip: For individual servings, bake in ramekins for easier portion control and presentation.

Storage & Serving Suggestions

  • Refrigerate: Up to 3 days in an airtight container
  • Reheat: Microwave or oven at low heat to maintain texture
  • Serve with: Sautéed spinach, roasted tomatoes, or avocado slices for a complete low-carb breakfast

Meal prep idea: Make 4–6 ramekins at once and store for grab-and-go breakfasts.
