Cottage Cheese Egg Bake

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat oil on medium heat. Add turkey sausage and cook until completely cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer to another dish.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add onion, garlic and bell peppers. Sauté on medium heat for 4-5 minutes until veggies are softened. Remove from heat.

Step 4

While the sausage and veggie mixture is cooling, make your egg and cottage cheese mixture by combining eggs, cottage cheese, cheddar cheese, and salt and pepper in a medium bowl. Blend using an immersion blender (or use a regular blender instead!).

Step 5

Add cooked turkey sausage and veggies to the blended egg and cottage cheese mixture, stirring until fully combined.

Step 6

Pour into to a large nonstick or lightly sprayed with oil 9x13" casserole dish (or a little larger will work too).

Step 7

Bake for ~40-50 minutes, until egg and cottage cheese bake is firm in the middle. If the top is browning too much, cover with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes of baking.

Step 8

Allow to cool for at least 10 minutes and then cut into even slices.
