Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the egg mixture evenly.
  2. Grease Baking Dish: Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish using butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Whisk Eggs: In a large mixing bowl, crack the six eggs and whisk thoroughly until fully beaten.
  4. Add Cottage Cheese: Stir in the cup of cottage cheese until evenly combined with the eggs.
  5. Mix in Cheddar: Add the shredded cheddar cheese and blend it into the mixture.
  6. Incorporate Heavy Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and continue mixing to achieve a creamy batter.
  7. Season: Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture for depth of flavor.
  8. Combine Seasonings: Mix thoroughly until all spices are well incorporated.
  9. Melt Butter: Melt the butter in a small pan over medium heat, then pour into the egg mixture and stir.
  10. Add Green Onions: Fold in chopped green onions evenly throughout the batter.
  11. Transfer to Dish: Pour the entire mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  12. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is set and slightly golden.
  13. Check Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out clean when fully cooked.
  14. Cool and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute cheddar cheese with mozzarella or a cheese blend for different flavor variations.
  • Green onions can be replaced with chives or omitted if preferred.
  • Ensure not to overbake to keep the bake moist and fluffy.
  • This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated gently.
