You know what they say, breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I have never understood folks who “don’t eat breakfast” because I wake up hungry every day without fail. But, time can be short when you’re trying to get the family out the door and that’s where this easy Cottage Cheese Egg Bake comes in. I’ve been focusing on adding more protein to my diet and this recipe is absolutely packed with it. Let’s get into how it’s made…
When I say this recipe is easy, I mean it. Cottage cheese, eggs, and the rest of the ingredients are all whisked together in one big bowl. I included green onions and swiss cheese in my version here, but it’s super simple to customize to your liking. Switch up the cheese or add other veggies, meat, or seasoning to suit your taste. It’s hard to go wrong.
This bake is delicious fresh out of the oven, but it also keeps and reheats like a dream. Make up a big dish of it early in the week and then you’ll have breakfast taken care of!
