What You Need
12 Eggs, beaten
1 TBS Butter, melted
1 lb Pepperjack cheese, shredded (or your favourite cheese)
1 16 oz container cottage cheese, 2%
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 tsp salt
How You Make Cheesy Baked Eggs
- Brush a 9 x 13 baking pan with melted butter
- Whisk together eggs, pepperjack cheese, cottage cheese, flour & salt in a large bowl
- Pour egg mixture into greased baking dish.

You can easily halve this recipe and bake it in an 8×8 or 9×8 square tin, or even a pie tin to serve in wedges. Adjust baking time to 30 – 40 minutes if you make a smaller batch.
TIP: Try blending the eggs and cottage cheese together! When baked your eggs will have a silky, custardy texture, similar to a sous-vide egg.
