High Protein Cottage Cheese Egg Bake
Our High Protein Cottage Cheese Egg Bake will start your day off right; a protein-packed breakfast that is low carb and perfect for easy breakfast meal prep.
Ingredients
- 8 large eggs, or 2 cups of liquid egg whites
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely chopped
- 4 green onions, chopped
- 6 slices cooked nitrate-free, high-quality bacon, crumbled
- sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350 degrees f.
- Line a 9x9, (an 8x8 or anything with similar capacity will work also) with parchment paper, leaving some hanging over the sides for easier removal. I very lightly sprayed the parchment with avocado oil, but this is optional.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, hemp seeds, and cheeses until combined.
- Add in the peas, pepper, onions, and stir to combine. Season with a very small pinch of sea salt and pepper. Don't add too much salt though, the cheese and bacon already add a lot of salt. Whisk well.
- Transfer your egg mixture to your prepared baking dish, sprinkle the top evenly with cooked crumbled bacon, then bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the center is set.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes, then slice into squares and serve.
- Enjoy!
