Hey there, honey! Today, I gonna tell you ’bout this egg bake with cottage cheese. It’s simple, it’s good, and it fills your belly right up. My old man, bless his soul, he loved it when I made this for him. Used to say it was better than a hug from a warm blanket on a cold mornin’.
So, first off, you gotta get your stuff together. It ain’t much, just some regular things you probably got layin’ around the house. These eggs, you know, the white ones or the brown ones, don’t matter, just regular eggs. It is the best egg bake you ever taste.
- Eggs, of course. ‘Bout a dozen or so.
- Cottage cheese, that lumpy white stuff. ‘Bout two cups.
- Some milk, just a splash.
- Salt and pepper, to make it taste good.
- And whatever else you like!
Now, I like to throw in some other things too. Maybe some chopped up onions, or some green peppers if I got ’em. Sometimes I even put in some cooked sausage or bacon, if we got some left over. Makes it real hearty, you know? This cottage cheese egg bake is easy to make.
You can put anything you want in it, really. One time, I even threw in some leftover potatoes. My old man, he didn’t even notice! Just ate it right up. He sure did love his food, that one. Miss him somethin’ fierce.
Okay, so here’s what you do. First, you gotta crack all them eggs into a big bowl. Big enough to hold ’em all without spillin’. Then you whisk ’em up real good. Just like you’re mad at ’em! Get ’em all nice and frothy. That is how you make this egg and cottage cheese bake.
Then you pour in that cottage cheese. Now, some folks, they don’t like the lumps. If you’re one of them, you can try to smooth it out a bit, but I don’t bother. The lumps are good for ya! Got all kinds of good stuff in ’em, I reckon. Or at least, that’s what my momma used to say.
Next, you pour in a little bit of milk. Not too much, just enough to make it all mix together nice. Then you sprinkle in some salt and pepper. Don’t be shy with it! Gotta give it some flavor. This is the best way to cook eggs, I tell you.
Now, if you’re gonna add in any of them extras, like the onions or peppers or whatever, you put ’em in now. Just dump ’em right in there and stir it all up. Make sure it’s all mixed in good. This cottage cheese and egg is the best.
Then you gotta get yourself a bakin’ dish. One of them glass ones is good, or a metal one, don’t matter. Just make sure it’s big enough to hold all that eggy goodness. And grease it up good, so nothin’ sticks. Butter, lard, whatever you got. I even use bacon grease sometimes. Makes it taste even better!
Pour all that egg mixture into the dish. Make sure it’s all spread out even. Then you pop it in the oven. ‘Bout 350 degrees, I reckon. Just keep an eye on it. You want it to be all cooked through, but not burnt, you know? It is a good recipe for egg bake. You will like it.
Takes ’bout half an hour, maybe a little more, maybe a little less. Just depends on your oven. My oven, she’s a little old, so sometimes things take a little longer. Just gotta know your oven, I guess. The egg bake recipe easy, right?
When it’s all done, it should be kinda puffy and golden brown on top. You can stick a knife in it to make sure it’s cooked through. If the knife comes out clean, it’s done. If it’s still got some goop on it, it needs more time.
Then you just let it cool down a bit, cut it into squares, and serve it up! It’s good hot, it’s good cold, it’s good anytime, really. I like to eat it with a piece of toast, but you can eat it with whatever you want. It is the best egg bake recipe. You gotta try it. It is so good.
My old man, he used to eat this stuff for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Said it was the best thing I ever made. And you know what? I think he was right. It’s just good, simple food. And sometimes, that’s all you need, right? This cottage cheese make it more good.
So there you have it. That’s how you make an egg bake with cottage cheese. It ain’t fancy, but it’s good. And it’s easy to make, even if you ain’t much of a cook. Just follow these steps, and you’ll be eatin’ good in no time. Trust me, your belly will thank you for it!
