Oven-Baked Bacon and Two-Cheese Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients

- 6 large eggs
- 8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 3 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully combined.
- Add the cottage cheese, crumbled feta cheese, and heavy cream to the eggs. Whisk everything together until smooth.

3. Enhance with Seasonings:
- Stir in the ground nutmeg, salt, and freshly ground black pepper into the egg mixture. Ensure everything is well integrated.

4. Cook the Bacon:
- While the oven is preheating, cook the bacon slices in a skillet over medium heat until crispy.
- Once cooked, transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat, then crumble the bacon into small pieces.

5. Combine All Ingredients:
- Gently fold the crumbled bacon and sliced green onions into the egg and cheese mixture.

6. Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick spray.
- Pour the prepared egg and bacon mixture evenly into the dish.

7. Bake the Casserole:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the casserole is fully set and lightly golden on top.
- Check by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean.

8. Serve and Enjoy:
- Allow the casserole to cool slightly before slicing.
- Serve warm, garnished with extra green onions if desired.
