Sausage, Egg & Cottage Cheese Casserole
Print Recipe

A sausage, egg, and cottage cheese casserole is a baked breakfast dish that blends scrambled eggs, browned sausage, cottage cheese, and shredded cheese into a protein-packed meal. The cottage cheese adds creaminess and keeps the casserole light while boosting protein content. It’s a perfect make-ahead option for anyone who wants a nutritious and filling breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound ground breakfast sausage (pork or turkey)

  • 10 large eggs

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat)

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or a mix of cheddar and mozzarella)

  • ½ cup milk (or heavy cream for richness)

  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

  • ½ teaspoon black pepper

  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

  • 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing the dish)

  • Optional: ½ cup chopped spinach or diced bell peppers for extra flavor

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven

Set the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.

Step 2: Cook the sausage

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the sausage until browned and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat and let it cool slightly.

Step 3: Mix the egg base

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cottage cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.

Step 4: Assemble the casserole

Spread the cooked sausage evenly in the prepared baking dish. Pour the egg mixture over the sausage and sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese on top.

Step 5: Bake the casserole

Bake uncovered for 35–40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.

Step 6: Rest and serve

Allow the casserole to cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy a creamy, cheesy, and satisfying breakfast.
