Ingredients
6Eggs Whisked
6Sausages Skinned and broken up
4Rashers Bacon Smoked, chopped into small pieces
1½Cups CheeseShredded, Cheddar
1CupCottage cheese Full fat
1Bell pepper Diced into small pieces
1Onion Diced finely, optional
1tbspOlive oil
Salt and pepper For seasoning
Instructions
Heat you oven to 190c or 375f and line a baking dish with foil or parchment paper. I also butter the liner to make sure this doesn't stick
Heat your olive oil in a large skillet over a medium heat
Add your broken up skinned sausages (see post how to do this) and cook for a few minutes until they start to brown. Add the bacon pieces and cook until browned and cooked through. Add the bell pepper and onion (if using) for the last couple of minutes. Put the pan to one side and allow to cool while you make the egg mixture
In a large bowl add your eggs and using electric beaters or a whisk, whisk them until the egg whites and yolks are well combined. Add the cottage cheese and combine well
Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper
Add your shredded cheese, leaving half a cup for the topping, and combine
Put the sausage, bacon, pepper and onion mixture into the egg mixture bowl and combine
Pour your bake mixture into your lined baking dish and using a dessert spoon, spread the mixture out so it's as even as possible in the dish
Sprinkle the rest of the cheese onto the top of the bake
Cook for 25 minutes until the bake is cooked through and golden on top. It may be ever so slightly 'wobbly' on top when you take it out of the oven. It will firm up as it sets and even more so once you out it in the fridge after allowing it to fully cool
I leave the bake in the baking dish to cool down. If you want to eat it cold, trying to remove it before it's set fully may cause it to break up!
