Preheat the oven to 350°F for a regular oven or 340°F for a conventional oven.

In a separate bowl, crack 3 eggs one by one to check for bad eggs.

Add about 1 teaspoon of milk to the eggs.

Whisk the eggs and milk together using a metal whisk.

Add garlic, black pepper, and a pinch of salt to the egg mixture, adjusting to taste.

Add 4 tablespoons of cottage cheese to the egg mixture, aiming for a half and half ratio with the eggs.

Butter the baking dish to prevent sticking and achieve a crispy texture.

Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the buttered baking dish.

Bake for 20 minutes, checking for doneness and adding a couple of extra minutes if necessary until crispy on top and solid.

Garnish with greens like parsley or scallions before serving.
