Cheesy Baked Eggs
Cheesy baked eggs casserole is perfect for brunch and meal prep and makes mornings so easy! Slice into squares and enjoy or use to make breakfast sandwiches!
Yield: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- 3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
- 16 oz. cottage cheese (low-fat is fine)
- ½ cup white wheat flour or all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350. Spray a 9x13 glass pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs until well mixed. Add the shredded cheese, cottage cheese, flour and salt and whisk until well combined.
- Pour the egg mixture into the prepared pan.
- Bake at 350 for 50 minutes to 1 hour, until the top is set and golden brown.
- Let sit for 5 minutes before cutting into squares and serving. (See notes below for topping ideas and serving suggestions.)
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4-5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
Cottage cheese: You can blend your cottage cheese if you want the eggs really smooth. As is, it breaks down and incorporates really well while baking. Regular or reduced fat cottage cheese is fine in this recipe.
Cheddar: I use Cabot’s Vermont Sharp cheddar cheese, which is a white cheddar, and I shred it myself from the block. However, you could substitute a different cheddar or a pre-shredded cheese instead if you prefer. You could even mix this up with a cheese blend or a mix of two different cheeses if you would like.
Flour: Regular all-purpose flour or a whole wheat or white wheat flour are all fine to use in this recipe. A gluten-free flour blend should also work just fine here if you’d like to try that (but I haven't tested it that way).
Serving: You can serve this as squares with any favorite toppings or use it to make a breakfast sandwich.
Topping ideas:
- Salsa or pico de gallo
- Sliced avocado or a dollop of guac
- Sour cream or Greek yogurt
- Chopped fresh cilantro or chopped fresh dill
- Chopped chives or green onions
- Hot sauce or sriracha
