Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Dairy

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese

Seasonings and Herbs

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley or fresh chopped parsley
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter for greasing
  • Optional: paprika or chili flakes for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare it for baking your eggs perfectly.
  2. Prepare the baking dish: Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet with olive oil or butter to prevent sticking and add flavor.
  3. Arrange the cottage cheese: Spread the cottage cheese evenly on the bottom of the dish as a creamy bed for the eggs.
  4. Season the cottage cheese layer: Sprinkle salt, pepper, garlic powder, and parsley over the cottage cheese to infuse it with flavor.
  5. Crack the eggs: Carefully crack the four eggs one by one over the cottage cheese without breaking the yolks, spacing them evenly.
  6. Season the eggs: Lightly season the eggs with salt, pepper, and optional paprika or chili flakes for a little heat and color.
  7. Bake the eggs: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks are still slightly runny, or to your preferred doneness.
  8. Finish and serve: Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve your baked cottage cheese eggs warm, either on their own or with toast.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary depending on your oven and how runny you like your yolks.
  • This dish can easily be doubled or tripled for more servings using a larger baking dish.
  • Add chopped spinach or tomatoes on top for extra nutrition and flavor.
  • Using full-fat cottage cheese enhances creaminess and flavor.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven or microwave.
