Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This will ensure your eggs cook evenly and achieve that perfect texture.

Prepare your baking dish by greasing it with either olive oil or butter. Opt for a small, oven-safe dish (around 8x8 inches) for optimal results. This step also prevents the eggs from sticking and makes cleaning easier.

Whisk your eggs in a medium bowl until the yolks and whites are fully blended together. This creates a smooth and consistent texture.

Stir in the cottage cheese, along with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Gently mix everything together so the cottage cheese blends evenly with the eggs. This combination gives your dish a rich and creamy texture.

Pour the egg mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the eggs are fully set and golden on top. If you prefer a firmer texture, you can bake them for an additional few minutes. For a softer, custard-like finish, check at 20 minutes.

Optional: Add a sprinkle of fresh herbs or shredded cheese on top in the last 5 minutes of baking. This will bring extra flavor and a lovely golden finish.

Take it out of the oven and let it sit for a few minutes. This helps the dish firm up, making it easier to slice and serve.
