# Instructions:
01 -
Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures even cooking and perfect texture.
02 -
Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
03 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine 6 eggs, 2 cups of cottage cheese, and 1 cup of grated sharp cheddar cheese. Mix thoroughly until well-blended.
04 -
Add salt and pepper to taste. Feel free to include additional seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or fresh herbs. This is also the time to add any optional vegetables or proteins.
05 -
Pour the mixture into your prepared baking dish and spread evenly. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. Test doneness by inserting a knife in the center - it should come out clean.

Let the dish cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with toast, fresh fruit, or a light salad for a complete meal.
