How To Make Low Carb Egg Casserole
Making this egg casserole is a total breeze and most ingredients you’ll already have on hand. Egg, butter, cheese, baking powder, cottage cheese, salt and pepper, and flour. If the cottage cheese freaks you out a bit – it adds a protein punch and a great texture to the finished product!
I recommend grating your own cheese and not buying bagged pre-shredded cheese. When you shred your own cheese, you get a better melt and fewer additives.
Break 10 eggs into mixing bowl and beat them until well blended
Add additional ingredients; baking powder, butter, cheese, flour, salt ( I use kosher salt) and cottage cheese. Fold in ingredient until well combined.
Once combined spoon into a greased 9×13 baking dish. Then cook at 350 degrees for 25-35 minutes

It keeps in the fridge ok for 5 days – so you could make it at the beginning of the week and easily eat on it all week long. Which I have done!
If you want to cut some calories, opt for half egg whites/half-full eggs and go with low-fat variations of cottage cheese and cheddar cheese.
