Blueberry Cottage Cheese Bake (Print Version)

A protein-rich bake combining creamy cottage cheese and fresh blueberries for a wholesome breakfast.

# What You'll Need:

→ Dairy

01 - 1 1/2 cups full-fat or low-fat cottage cheese
02 - 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
03 - 1/4 cup dairy or unsweetened non-dairy milk

→ Eggs

04 - 3 large eggs

→ Sweeteners & Flavorings

05 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar or sweetener of choice
06 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
07 - 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
08 - Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

→ Dry Ingredients

09 - 2 tablespoons cornstarch or all-purpose flour
10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Fruit

11 - 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

# How to Make It:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish or equivalent.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, lemon zest if using, cornstarch, and salt until smooth and homogeneous.
03 - Gently fold the blueberries into the mixture to distribute evenly without breaking the fruit.
04 - Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
05 - Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the center is just set and the surface turns lightly golden.
06 - Cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or chilled as preferred.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It's protein-packed enough to keep you satisfied until lunch, yet tastes like dessert for breakfast.
  • Twenty minutes of hands-on work gives you four servings that reheat beautifully, making weekday mornings dramatically easier.
  • No flour, no complicated techniques—just whisking and folding, which means even on groggy mornings, you can pull this off.
02 -
  • Don't skip the cooling step—it's the difference between a bake you can slice neatly and one that falls apart on the plate.
  • Frozen blueberries won't compromise texture if you don't thaw them first; they actually help the bake stay moist as they release their liquid during baking.
03 -
  • Room-temperature cottage cheese and yogurt blend more smoothly than cold ones—set them out while you preheat the oven.
  • If you're meal prepping, portion into small containers immediately after cooling; it reheats beautifully in a 300°F oven for five minutes and stays moist.
