Ingredients
Egg Mixture
- 18 large eggs
- ½ cup cottage cheese (full fat or 2%)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly-ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
Herbs and Add-ins
- 4 green onions (white and green parts), finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh Italian parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Cheese Topping
- ¾ cup crumbled feta cheese, divided
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large 12×17-inch rimmed sheet pan with parchment paper, allowing the paper to overhang the ends for easy removal and to prevent the egg mixture from leaking underneath.
- Blend the Eggs: In a blender, combine the eggs, cottage cheese, kosher salt, freshly-ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Blend for about 30 seconds until smooth and fully combined.
- Add the Herbs and Some Feta: Add the finely chopped green onions, fresh dill, Italian parsley, lemon zest, and ¼ cup of the crumbled feta cheese to the blender. Pulse a few times on low speed just to incorporate these ingredients without fully blending, maintaining some texture.
- Fill and Top: Pour the egg mixture evenly onto the prepared sheet pan. Sprinkle the remaining ½ cup of feta cheese evenly over the top of the mixture.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 18 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set in the center and no longer jiggly when gently shaken.
- Slice and Serve: Remove from oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Using the parchment paper overhang, lift the egg bake out of the pan and cut into 12 equal pieces. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure to use a rimmed sheet pan to prevent spills in the oven.
- Allow the eggs to cool slightly before cutting to ensure clean slices.
- Feel free to customize with other fresh herbs or cheese varieties like goat cheese or mozzarella.
- This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and reheated gently.
