Description

This Keto Cottage Cheese Egg Bake Recipe is creamy, fluffy, and packed with protein. Made with eggs, full-fat cottage cheese, and a touch of cheddar, it’s a simple low-carb breakfast that’s satisfying, flavorful, and easy to prepare for busy mornings or weekend brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach or broccoli (optional)
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon or sausage (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil (for greasing the pan)
  • Fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or basil) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with butter or olive oil.
  2. Whisk the eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs until smooth and lightly frothy.
  3. Add the cottage cheese: Stir in the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, heavy cream (if using), and all seasonings. Mix until combined.
  4. Fold in add-ins: Gently fold in cooked bacon or sausage and any vegetables like spinach or broccoli. Avoid overmixing.
  5. Pour and bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared dish. Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is just set.
  6. Cool slightly: Let rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.

Notes

This bake stores beautifully! Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days, or freeze individual portions for up to 2 months. Reheat in the oven or air fryer for best texture. For a vegetarian version, omit the meat and load it with veggies like mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers.
