Cottage Cheese Egg Bake

The cottage cheese is a great addition for some much-needed extra protein + it adds some delicious creaminess to the eggs, which make them taste even better when reheated throughout the week. These are great to use to make a breakfast sandwich or burrito or as is AND you can add whatever fixings you desire to make a complete breakfast on-the-go!
