A simple high-protein bake made with cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan, and garlic. It comes together in one bowl and bakes to a golden, set center in under 30 minutes. Great as a light meal, snack, or side dish.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 2 to 3 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder or 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: chopped parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a small baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan, garlic, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
  3. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top is golden and the center is set.
  4. Let the bake cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and top with chopped parsley or chives if desired.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for a richer texture and better structure.
  • Fresh minced garlic gives a stronger flavor than garlic powder. Use whichever you prefer.
  • The bake is done when the edges pull away slightly from the dish and the center does not jiggle.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
  • You can add shredded mozzarella or chopped spinach to the batter for extra flavor and variety.
