Ingredients
  

For the Bake
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Provides creaminess and protein; Greek yogurt can be a lighter alternative.
  • 1 cup Fresh Blueberries Adds natural sweetness and flavor; frozen blueberries work in a pinch.
  • 2 large Eggs Acts as a binder for structure; flax eggs are a great vegan substitution.
  • 1 cup Oats Contributes texture and heartiness; gluten-free oats can be used for a gluten-free version.
  • 2 tablespoons Honey or Maple Syrup Sweetens the dish; brown sugar will also do the trick.
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Adds warmth and depth; nutmeg can be swapped for a different flavor profile.
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract Enhances overall flavor for a delightful taste.
Optional Topping
  • 1/4 cup Nuts or Seeds Provides added crunch; sprinkle on top before baking for a delightful texture.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven - Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This crucial step ensures that your Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake cooks evenly and comes out perfectly fluffy.
  2. Step 2: Mix the Base Ingredients - In a large mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture appears creamy.
  3. Step 3: Add Dry Ingredients and Blueberries - Gently fold in the oats, blueberries, and cinnamon using a spatula until everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Step 4: Transfer to Baking Dish - Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom and smoothing the top.
  5. Step 5: Bake Until Set and Golden - Place the baking dish in your preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the center is set and slightly golden on the edges.
  6. Step 6: Cool and Serve - Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 to 10 minutes before serving warm, either plain or topped with fresh fruit or yogurt.
