Fluffy Cottage Egg Casserole | Crustless Quiche

There are two things that make this recipe a stand-out. One is a method and one is an ingredient.

1. Cottage Cheese! – Yes, cottage cheese makes this recipe creamy. It adds richness without making the eggs ‘heavy’.
2. As well, 1 and 3/4 of cottage cheese is a 16-ounce container.
3. The second secret to this recipe is whipping the eggs. I used the whisk attachment on my KitchenAid mixer and whisked the eggs until they were pale yellow and foamy.
4. I used a 4-ounce jar of diced pimentos. You can omit or use red, orange, or green bell pepper. You can also dice a jalapeno for a little spice.
5. Finally, for the cheese, I used cheddar and Pepper Jack. You can use all cheddar or all Pepper Jack. As well, you can substitute your favorite cheese. Some options that would be delicious are Swiss, Gouda, Colby, or Fontina.

CAN I ADD OTHER VEGETABLES?

Yes! Mushrooms, broccoli, and spinach would all be delicious additions.

CAN I MAKE THIS AHEAD OF TIME?

To make this the night before, simply mix everything together, cover, and refrigerate. In the morning, pour into the baking dish and bake.  Because the mixture will be cold, you’ll need to increase the baking time. Start with 5 additional minutes and watch it closely.
