Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 fresh eggs
- 1 cup plant-based cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley or chives)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 teaspoon natural gelling agent
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Set your oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly grease a small baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking and to add a lovely golden crust to your eggs.
- Mix Ingredients Together: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs along with the plant-based cottage cheese and vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural). Add salt, black pepper, and the chopped fresh herbs, mixing until evenly combined.
- Add the Natural Gelling Agent: Sprinkle the natural gelling agent into the mixture and gently fold it in to help the eggs set perfectly while baking, creating a creamy yet firm texture that holds together beautifully.
- Pour and Bake: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are puffed, golden, and fully set.
- Rest and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the baked cottage cheese eggs to cool for a few minutes so they firm up slightly, making them easier to slice and serve.
Notes
- Use room temperature ingredients for a better mix and bake.
- Watch closely near the end of baking to avoid drying out the eggs.
- Adding fresh herbs just before baking keeps their flavor and color vibrant.
- Mix ingredients the night before for quick preparation.
- A ceramic or glass baking dish is best for even heat distribution.
