Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup full-fat (4%) cottage cheese, blended smooth
- 6 large eggs
- 1/2 lb lean breakfast sausage, cooked, crumbled, and drained
- 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tsp ground or finely chopped fresh sage
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease an 8×8-inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk the smooth cottage cheese, eggs, sage, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until frothy.
- Fold in the cooked sausage and half of the cheddar cheese.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and top with the remaining cheddar.
- Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the center is set and does not jiggle.
Notes
- Drain the cooked sausage in a colander and press with paper towels to remove excess grease. This prevents a watery bottom.
