🛒 Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs

  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Optional add-ins:

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease two small ramekins or one small baking dish with butter or oil.
  3. Mix the filling:
    • In a bowl, whisk eggs.
    • Stir in cottage cheese, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and any optional add-ins.
  4. Pour into ramekins evenly.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes, until puffed and set in the center.

  6. Cool slightly before serving. The eggs will settle a bit — that’s normal!
