Make this simple egg bake casserole for a satisfying breakfast or brunch. You can customize it with your favorite meats and vegetables. This recipe delivers a fluffy texture and is great for feeding a crowd or preparing ahead of time.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup milk (any kind)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup cooked, crumbled sausage or diced ham
  • 1 cup chopped broccoli florets (or spinach/peppers)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, milk, salt, and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. This helps create a fluffy egg bake.
  3. Stir in the shredded cheese, your choice of meat (sausage or ham), and the vegetables (broccoli, spinach, or peppers). Mix gently to distribute ingredients evenly.
  4. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  5. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the center is set and a knife inserted near the middle comes out clean. The top should be lightly golden.
  6. Let the egg bake rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This is a great make ahead breakfast; you can refrigerate leftovers for quick morning meals.

Notes

  • For a low carb egg bake or keto breakfast casserole, skip any bread or hash browns you might consider adding to other recipes.
  • To make this a protein breakfast bake, increase the amount of cottage cheese or add cooked ground turkey.
  • If you are preparing this for brunch recipes for a crowd, double the recipe and use a larger casserole dish.
