Baked Eggs
Description
Baked Eggs consist of whisked eggs combined with shredded mozzarella and cheddar, smooth cottage cheese, flour, and salt. The mixture is poured into a buttered casserole dish and baked at 350°F for about 55-60 minutes until fully cooked and set, creating a hearty egg and cheese bake with a lightly golden top.
The combination of cheeses contributes both flavor and a creamy texture, while cottage cheese adds moisture and density. Flour helps bind the ingredients and create structure in the finished dish. The slower bake time allows even cooking throughout without drying out the eggs.
This dish can be served directly from the casserole or scaled down into muffin tins for individual portions that bake faster. It suits a filling breakfast or brunch option. It reheats well in the oven or microwave, making leftovers convenient.
Make-ahead and freezing options add flexibility. The mixture can be prepared the day before, and leftovers or the fully baked casserole can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Reheating from frozen requires longer baking times covered with foil to preserve moisture.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 12 egg
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 cups cheddar cheese shredded
- 1 (16-ounce) container cottage cheese
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Brush the melted butter onto a 9x13 casserole dish and set aside.

Notes
- For individual servings, bake the egg mixture in a muffin tin at 350°F for 15-20 minutes.
- Prepare the egg mixture the night before and refrigerate; bring to room temperature before baking.
- Freeze fully baked casserole wrapped in plastic and foil for up to 2 months; reheat covered with foil at 350°F for about 45 minutes, then uncovered until warm.
- Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months; reheat briefly in the microwave before serving.
