High Protein Cottage Cheese and Egg Bake – 40 g protein per serving
I have been laser focused on my daily protein intake for the last 6 months and this cottage cheese egg bake has been my go-to breakfast with 40 g. of protein per serving.
Here is the recipe:
14 large eggs
16 oz egg whites
1 (16 oz) cottage cheese, 2%
1 cup of shredded cheddar
8 slices of chopped baked turkey bacon
1 cup of thawed frozen spinach (or 2 cups baby spinach leaves would also work)
1 teaspoon Garlic powder
1 teaspoon Paprika
Freshly ground black pepper
Whisk everything in a bowl until combined.
Pour it into a greased 9 by 13 casserole dish.
Bake at 350 degrees for about an 1 hour or until it is nicely browned.
Cut it into 6 pieces, eat some right away, and store the rest in the fridge for upto 5 days.
I usually warm it up for 5 minutes in my toaster oven, but if I am short on time I eat it cold to get my protein in.

Spinach is very toxic to the kid me eys so what can I use instead
Yummy
Ugh the dry turkey bacon looks gross 🤢 Why not use the real egg whites instead of a carton? Why not real garlic? A whole week in the fridge? No thanks.
I make this most weeks, I would j
Suggest baking w foil over it and don’t cook the hell out of it bc it’ll be rubbery when you reheat.
EVERYDAY? What happened to, "Variety is what makes the world round?" Or something like that.
This looks delicious!
Too bad I despise eggs. Darn
Cost no object
ummm how much did this cost 25$ 🙄🙄
I make one with two eggs, half cup cootage cheese, or Greek yogurt or tofu , or sometimes I mix everything together, cheese, it can be goda, cheddar, mozzarella, 1 tablespoon of flour or two, salt and pour on a baking sheet I can top it with whatever I have , less expensive
Delicious!!
No dead animal parts would be so much better 👍
Reheating spinach makes it very toxic
Looks absolutely amazing 🤤🤤🤤🤤
Giant egg bite.
What make and model do you use for the oven when you baked it?
This is not cheap so better be good
Baby, you eat 14 eggs every mornin? That can’t be good or economical.
Great until you a) have no one to feed do how realistic that the quick meal would last a week for me ha ha and be I would never keep leftovers 6 days
My kind of woman,if you're going to have one have a big one 😜
Ok but why 14 and not 15 eggs
Cottage cheese in egg bakes is fantastic! It gives a delicious, rich and creamy texture. I dont like cottage cheese on its own, but in eggs it's wonderfuk!
To brown for me and fresh spinach isn't as strong in flavor.
