Egg and Cottage Cheese Casserole Recipe

Ingredients for Egg and Cottage Cheese Casserole

• 8 large eggs
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
• 1/2 cup chopped onions
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
• Chopped fresh herbs (optional, for garnish)

Instructions for Preparing the Casserole

First, preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth. Next, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté the onions and bell peppers until soft, about 5 minutes.

Then, add the sautéed vegetables to the egg mixture, stirring until well combined. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish and pour the mixture in, spreading it evenly. Top with the shredded cheese for a deliciously gooey texture.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the casserole is set in the center and golden on top. Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing into squares and serving warm. Enjoy the fluffy, cheesy goodness!

Tips for Perfecting Your Casserole

For a fluffier texture, beat the eggs well before adding the other ingredients. Additionally, let the casserole sit for a few minutes after baking; this helps it set and makes it easier to cut. Experiment with different cheeses or add cooked meats like ham or turkey for extra flavor. You could even try a recipe like the Turkey Egg Roll Bowl or Ground Turkey Egg Roll for a tasty variation.

Variations to Try with Your Casserole

Feel free to customize this egg and cottage cheese casserole with your favorite ingredients. Add spinach for a pop of color and nutrition, or swap the bell peppers for mushrooms. You can also use different herbs and spices to enhance the flavor. If you’re feeling adventurous, consider adding a side of Turkey Meatballs for a complete meal.
