# Directions:
01 -
Set your oven temperature to 375°F (190°C) and let it heat up fully before baking. This step ensures the dish cooks evenly.
02 -
Take a medium baking dish and lightly coat it with some butter or cooking spray to keep food from sticking.
03 -
Break 6 eggs into a big bowl. Add 2 cups of cottage cheese and a cup of shredded cheddar. Stir it all together until smooth.
04 -
Sprinkle in some salt and pepper, along with any other seasonings you like—try garlic powder or chopped herbs. Toss in any extra veggies or meats you’re using.
05 -
Pour the mixture into your greased pan and spread it out evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes. When it’s done, a knife stuck in the center should come out clean.
06 -
Allow it to cool slightly so it sets. Then cut into portions and serve with sides like toast, a side salad, or fruit.
# Notes:
