Description
Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake is the kind of easy recipe that makes breakfast feel special without piling on extra work. It bakes up soft, creamy, lightly sweet, and full of juicy blueberries, with a texture that lands somewhere between a breakfast casserole, a baked cheesecake, and a healthy snack you will actually look forward to eating. It is perfect for quick breakfast prep, brunch tables, meal prep mornings, and anyone searching for breakfast ideas, food ideas, or an easy recipe that feels cozy and satisfying.
Ingredients
2 cups cottage cheese
4 large eggs
1 cup fresh blueberries, plus extra for topping
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon lemon zest
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon butter, for greasing the dish
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish with the butter.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Add the flour, baking powder, salt, and lemon zest, then stir until fully combined.
4. Gently fold in the blueberries, reserving a small handful for the top.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly.
6. Scatter the remaining blueberries over the top.
7. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
8. Let the bake rest for 10 to 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
This bake slices more cleanly after resting, so give it at least 10 minutes before cutting.
If you use frozen blueberries, add them straight from the freezer and do not thaw them first to avoid excess moisture.
