For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding cooked and crumbled breakfast sausage or chorizo to the casserole mixture. Freshly grated cheese will provide a better melt and flavor than pre-shredded cheese. If you prefer a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese in a food processor before adding it to the mixture. Serve with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sour cream, avocado, chopped cilantro, or hot sauce.

Jun 8, 2025I found that 40 minutes was a little too long for my oven, so I checked it after 35 minutes. Just keep an eye on it!
