Tips & Variations
- Veggie-packed: add spinach, diced bell peppers, or mushrooms before baking.
- Make-ahead: mix in a bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight; bake in the morning (add a few extra minutes).
- Low-carb breakfast: skip milk or use unsweetened almond milk.
- Flavor boost: sprinkle paprika, chili flakes, or Italian seasoning on top.
If you want, I can also give a single-serve muffin tin version so you can make mini baked cottage cheese egg cups for easy grab-and-go breakfasts.
