Cheesy Baked Eggs
Cheesy Baked Eggs that are breakfast made with simple ingredients. Eggs, cottage cheese, and Pepperjack cheese which gives them a little kick. Everyone asks for this casserole recipe when I make these baked eggs. This is a great side to this Blueberry Croissant Puff, these French Toast Roll-Ups, or this Bananas Foster French Toast.
CHEESY BAKED EGGS
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.
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.
WHAT ARE BAKED EGGS
The ingredients 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 Cheesy Baked Eggs is that you can totally half it in an 8×8 or 9×9 inch pan.
BAKED EGGS RECIPE
The first time I made these Cheesy Baked Eggs my husband ate them for lunch and dinner. Me like protein.
One time I left the pan of Cheesy Baked 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, or onions if desired.

Excellent recipe, made it this morning for the first time, definitely not last. And let me attribute to the discussion: consider cutting down drastically on amount of salt (cottage cheese already got a lot of it), and if your hard cheese is of a spicy/aged variety, do yourself a favor and skip salt completely. I used only 5oz asiago cheese (for halved recipe), and with only 0.25 tsp salt eggs were definitely way too salty.
Good but next time I will add sausage and peppers and mushrooms. Lots of cheese- tastes nice and buttery!
Those would all be great.
Hello! I have a 7.5 x 10.5 inch baking dish. Do you think the egg will still cook through fine or should I reduce the ingredients?
You might just need to add some baking time. Probably about 10 minutes.
Do you know what can be substituted for the all purpose flour?
You can leave it out! Many people have.
I am so happy I found this recipe! I make this dish at least once a month, or more. My mother-in-law calls me a lot and begs me to make this for her. I remove the salt, and add artichoke hearts and fresh spinach. Served with salsa, spectacular!!!
Sounds delicious!
