Cottage Broccoli Potato Bake

Cottage cheese (2% milkfat), broccoli (boiled, drained, no added salt) and potato with skin (baked, no added salt) in an egg-bound oven bake. Measured ingredients, two servings and visible nutrition estimates.

This egg bake recipe brings cottage cheese (2% milkfat), broccoli (boiled, drained, no added salt) and potato with skin (baked, no added salt) together as an egg-bound oven bake. The ingredient list describes the full batch; each serving is one half. Read the preparation labels before weighing so a cooked grain, drained fish or raw vegetable matches its source.

The separate protein, carbohydrate and fat counts are estimates, not a claim that this dish exactly meets a traditional Zone target. Use the meal builder for ingredient changes and the meal planner for a worksheet of recipe ideas.

Ingredients and dietary filters

Supported ingredient allergen flags: egg, milk. Egg; Milk Check every product label and preparation environment. Dietary tags describe the reviewed ingredient pattern or the stated numerical filter; they do not certify allergy safety, a therapeutic diet or nutritional adequacy.

Ingredient substitutions

For a different version, compare replacing cottage cheese (2% milkfat) with the same edible gram weight of ricotta cheese (part skim). Match the listed source preparation and adapt the texture or cooking method as needed. This is not a nutritionally equivalent substitution. A replacement changes nutrient values and dietary/allergen suitability; recompute the full meal rather than preserving the old block label. Read the nutrition methodology and planning rules when comparing portions.

Make it step by step

First, weigh every listed ingredient for the full two-serving batch in its exact starting preparation. Cooked grains, beans, vegetables, meat and fish are already cooked or drained as named; their initial cooking time is not included here.
Next, heat the oven to 180°C / 350°F.
Then, heat olive oil gently in a nonstick pan; keep all measured oil with the bake.
After that, combine whole egg (raw), cottage cheese (2% milkfat), potato with skin (baked, no added salt) and broccoli (boiled, drained, no added salt) with the softened vegetables as the filling or bake mixture. Beat the raw egg before combining. Break up cooked filling ingredients so none are left out.
Next, spoon the complete filling into a shallow baking dish. Bake for approximately 28 minutes in total; check the food rather than relying on time alone. The egg must be fully set.
Finally, divide the complete batch equally into two servings by weight, including all measured toppings, sauce and oil. Serve promptly or follow the linked food-handling guidance for cooling, storage and reheating. Times are editorial estimates, not a record of physical kitchen testing.

However, separate block counts do not mean this recipe is an exactly balanced Zone meal. The table shows total carbohydrate as well as carbohydrate minus fiber. In addition, we scale nutrients from USDA reference entries and sum them before rounding. These are estimates, not a laboratory analysis.

Source and preparation notes

Source-calculated starting-ingredient estimate, not laboratory analysis or physical kitchen testing. Cooked foods are weighed after cooking as named; raw vegetables, fruit and egg are weighed in their listed starting state. Cooking may change water and nutrient retention; no finished per100g concentration or cooking yield is claimed. Keep all measured oil/sauce with the batch. Total time includes stated chill/rest time, but excludes initial cooking of ingredients already named cooked. Product labels and substitutions require recalculation.

Keep the bigger picture in view.
