Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 7 eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the eggs and cottage cheese evenly.
- Prepare the baking dish: Place the cottage cheese in the center of an 8 by 8 inch baking dish. Drizzle the olive oil over both the cottage cheese and the dish for flavor and to prevent sticking.
- Add the eggs: Carefully crack the eggs around the block of cottage cheese in the baking dish. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Bake the dish: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 22 minutes, or until the eggs have set. For softer eggs, check as early as 15 minutes to avoid overcooking.
- Mix and serve: Remove the dish from the oven and gently stir the warm cottage cheese together with the eggs. Serve immediately on toast, in pitas, or as sandwiches.
Notes
- Adjust baking time to achieve your preferred egg consistency: shorter for runny yolks, longer for firm eggs.
- Use fresh eggs for best flavor and texture.
- Consider adding herbs like chives or parsley for additional flavor.
- Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture.
