Can I use another kind of cheese?

Yes, you can easily substitute cottage cheese with other soft or shredded cheeses like ricotta, feta, cheddar, or mozzarella. Keep in mind, using a different cheese will slightly alter the texture and protein content, but your sheet pan cottage cheese eggs will still be delicious.

Can I reheat cottage cheese eggs?

Absolutely. These eggs reheat well and maintain their moisture thanks to the cottage cheese. For best results, microwave on medium for 45–60 seconds or warm in a 325°F oven for 5–10 minutes. This makes sheet pan cottage cheese eggs perfect for meal prep.

Can I double this recipe?

Yes, doubling the recipe is easy. Use a full-sized sheet pan or two medium ones. Just be sure not to overcrowd the pan. Keep an eye on the bake time—it may take a few minutes longer, but the eggs should still be set and lightly golden when done.

Can I add veggies to this dish?

Definitely. Chopped bell peppers, spinach, mushrooms, and even grated zucchini work well. Be sure to sauté or drain any high-water content vegetables first to prevent a soggy texture in your sheet pan cottage cheese eggs .
