BAKED EGGS RECIPE
(originally posted 2018)
We just got back from our cruise and I’m feeling the jiggle if you know what I mean. Unfortunately, the food was just meh. Not the worst food I’ve ever eaten but not the best either.
When your cooking for 8,000 people I know I can’t expect it to be top notch but I think they error on the side of bland to accommodate more palettes.
We ate more eggs on our cruise than anything else because how can you screw up a fresh omelette or fried eggs? They had the fake scrambled egg thingy at the buffet which wasn’t doing it for any of us at our morning breakfasts.
OVEN BAKED EGGS
No joke we eat so many eggs at our house. Boiled Eggs, Deviled, Egg Omelets, Eggs in Cookies…what???? (that totally counts)
When I have company over I don’t like slaving over a skillet as people trickle downstairs. These Cheesy Baked Eggs are the perfect breakfast recipe or weekend brunch dish.
WHAT ARE BAKED EGGS
The ingredients in the egg mixture are simple: Eggs, cottage cheese, a little flour, salt, and Pepperjack Cheese. The cottage cheese completely disappears in these baked eggs. Trust me! Because I’m not a cottage cheese fan when it’s plain.
The great thing about these is that you can totally half it in an 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan.
EGG BAKE RECIPE
The first time I made this simple baked eggs recipe my husband ate them for lunch and dinner. Me like protein.
One time I left the pan of these eggs cooling on the counter when we were headed out for a date. My babysitter texted me, “What is that in the pan on the counter?”
“Why? Did you have some?” “You totally can have some, ” I said.
“Oh yes,” she said. “It was delicious. Can I get the recipe? My boys would love it.”
HOW TO MAKE BAKED EGGS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and brush a 9×13 baking pan with melted butter.
Whisk together the eggs, pepperjack cheese (or any other cheese you like), cottage cheese, flour, and salt in a large bowl. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
Bake in the preheated oven until eggs are completely set about 50-60 minutes. Start checking it around 45 minutes. Cut into squares and serve with salsa, sour cream, guacamole, tomatoes, onions, fresh herbs or Parmesan cheese. Store leftovers in the fridge.
VARIATIONS:
- Add a chopped cherry tomato or sun-dried tomatoes.
- Add a handful of spinach.
- Finish it with a sprinkle of Parmesan or feta cheese.
- Spice it up with red pepper flakes.
- Add some bacon bits on top.
- Add some chopped veggies.
- Top with some herbs like chopped parsley, chives, or basil.

This recipe is DELICIOUS! It’s so light & fluffy, even without the flour (wanted to reduce the carbs). Love the addition of cottage cheese to up the protein. Thanks so much for this recipe!

I’m stuck between giving this a four and a five star rating, so take my rating with a grain of sand.
I have to follow my gut, but the only tangible reason I can think to give less than five stars is because there are no instructions for how long to cool before refrigerating or if that’s a thing. Maybe one other thing is I’d like to know if adding stuff to the batter would alter the bake time and there seems to be no word on that within the recipe.
Anyway, the recipe works very well and I have no issues with it! So if that’s what you’re looking at, I’d give this a five star.
I did make some adjustments. Used about ten eggs, 3-4 of them had an extra yolk. I used just a smidge of less cheese on all three kinds. I had three kinds because I was working with what I had (aka one block of sharp cheddar, one block of extra sharp white cheddar, & the cottage cheese).
I halved the batter into 2 9×9 inch black pans. I adjusted the temperature of the oven to 325 to account for the black pans. Checked at 30 minutes, then ended up pulling them out ~7 minutes later. So far so good, and everyone liked it.
I’m also curious if less cheese could be used. Because man there is a ton in this lol.
