Why this works

Moderate in energy and protein, but relatively high in saturated fat and low in fibre; best enjoyed as an occasional savoury snack or light meal.

Calcium-rich dairy. Cheddar, cottage cheese and eggs provide useful calcium for bone health, with some phosphorus and vitamin B12.

Good protein content. The combination of cheese, cottage cheese and eggs gives a solid protein boost for satiety and muscle repair.

Low fibre and refined flour. Plain flour contributes little fibre, so this dish is not especially gut-supportive unless served with vegetables or whole grains.

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C (Fan 180°C, 392°F, Gas Mark 6).
Beat the eggs and mix with the cottage cheese and grated cheddar.
If using pastry or flour from the pantry, prepare a simple puff base; otherwise spoon the mixture into greased muffin holes for a crustless version.
Bake for 18–20 minutes until puffed and golden.
Rest for 5 minutes before removing and serving warm.
