Easy Brunch Bliss
🛒 Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat both work)

¼ cup grated Parmesan
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Blend for fluffiness
In a blender or food processor, blend cottage cheese and eggs until smooth.
(This step gives you that creamy, custardy texture.)

Bake
Pour mixture into prepared dish.
Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, until center is set and top is lightly golden.
