This breakfast casserole with eggs and cottage cheese takes eggs to a whole different level! It’s fluffy, moist, cakey, cheesy and so, so DELICIOUS! A family staple breakfast casserole!

Ah, breakfast… The first meal of the day and often underestimated in its importance. Making breakfast can be quite challenging, especially with time. But their are some easier homemade alternatives like making this quiche pie the night before or this french toast recipe and heating up the next morning. But rotation makes for a nice change and this breakfast casserole can make quite an appearance (not to mention it can feed a crowd.) Popping this in the oven while the children get ready can have a tasty breakfast on the table in just a matter of time. I like the edge pieces, they seem to be slightly crisp and the filling turns out so moist! Make this Breakfast Casserole with Eggs and Cottage Cheese for a crowd or half the recipe to make a smaller portion and if it becomes a family favorite please share!

    Delicious and filling! I spray the pan and leave out the butter to save calories and it still comes out perfectly.

    • Elaine

    Can this be put together the night before, refrigerated and baked the next morning?

      • Alyona Demyanchuk

      Hi Elaine, I haven’t tried so, but I think it could possibly work.

        • Lin

        We’ve had it left over! Just reheated it in the microwave and it was just as good!

    • Stephanie

    I was a little nervous to try this because the egg bake that I normally make is completely different. This was so easy and delicious!

      • Alyona Demyanchuk

      Hi Stephanie, this egg bake is delicious! Thank you for giving it a try!

    • Linda

    I added a small can of chopped green chilies to bowl before baking it. It was delicious!

      • Alyona Demyanchuk

      That’s wonderful, Linda! Glad it was delicious!

    • Linda

    So easy to make. I substituted cheddar cheese and added a can of green chilies. It was delicious!

      • Alyona Demyanchuk

      Thank you for the feedback, Linda!

    • Dale

    Serving size of 1g doesn’t really make sense. I am curious just how calorie laden this is, now that I am nearly 40 years old and care now. We made this recipe probably monthly growing up, for sure a family favorite, and now my kids love it too!

    I’m certain we’ve used fresh chopped onion before and it works fine, never fresh parsley that I know of though.

      • Alyona Demyanchuk

      Hi Dale, updated the nutritional info. I never tried this with fresh parsley. It sure is a favorite among all the breakfast dishes we eat!

    • Anna

    Can I substitute the dried onion and dried parsley for fresh onion and parsley?

      • Alyona Demyanchuk

      You could try but the dried onion works more like a spice and I’m not sure how well it would cook through in this recipe.
