"We enjoyed a hearty breakfast bake during a visit to an Amish inn," recalls Beth Notaro of Kokomo, Indiana. "When I asked for the recipe, one of the ladies told me the ingredients right off the top of her head. I modified it to create this version my family loves. Try breakfast sausage in place of bacon."

I blended the cottage cheese and eggs (8 eggs) in a blender and added 1/4th cup of milk. I also substituted cubed ham for the bacon. I sauteed up a yellow onion and mushrooms to add. I omitted the swiss cheese. I also added salt, pepper, ground mustard, and garlic powder. This was supper yummy. My husband likes to eat this with salsa. Would be okay with ketchup for kids.

This recipe was easy to make and tasty, however I found it very bland. I was worried when preparing it that it would be, but wasn't sure if the saltiness of the bacon would be enough, so I didn't alter the recipe except to make it with 10 eggs. After eating it, I would definitely add salt and pepper, and maybe even some green and red peppers. It has the potential to be a wonderful recipe.

This recipe is ok, but I have another similar recipe we like much better. I think the hashed browns make this a little heavy.

Trust me, you don't taste the cottage cheese.  My son and husband can't stand cottage cheese, but they don't even know it's in the recipe.  I am so craving this recipe now too.

made this for Christmas Eve brunch 2011 everyone said it was delicious..next year I will make (2) 9x13's because it was gone so fast after people took seconds and thirds!!! I didn't change anything in the recipe, however, I did make it the day before, covered it and put it in the refrigerator. I took it out 30 minutes before I baked it. It is a keeper and the only breakfast Casserole I will make from now on.

I am eating this as I speak. It is really good, flavorful. I added chopped ham instead of bacon and I had a block of Irish Cheddar so I used that instead of the standard orange. Other than that, the recipe is the same. Oh, and I added a little bit of green onions along with the sweet. The cottage cheese makes it creamy and delicious. Excellent brunch dish

Delicious! I have never made a breakfast casserole before because none of the other recipes appealed to me. This one was a big hit for a holiday breakfast.

We have tried this with bacon and sausage and enjoyed both.

This was kind of boring by itself, but a good standard to add green chilies and spices. Could probably also use only one cheese.
