Ingredients
  

Egg Mixture:
  • 8 to 9 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ⅛ teaspoon pepper
Optional Add-Ins:
  • ⅓ cup cooked bacon crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons chives chopped
  • Cooking spray

Method
 

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Blend the Egg Mixture: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, then stir in cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Add Flavor: If using, fold in the cooked bacon and chives for extra flavor.
  4. Bake: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the eggs are set and lightly golden on top.
  5. Slice & Serve: Let the eggs cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Season the Rice: While the sushi rice is still warm, mix in rice vinegar, sugar, and salt. Stir well and let cool.
  • Shape and Chill: Form the rice into small rectangular patties and place them on a tray. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Prepare the Spicy Salmon: In a bowl, mix diced sushi-grade salmon with Kewpie mayo, Sriracha, scallions, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Set aside.
  • Fry the Rice: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the chilled rice patties for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.
  • Assemble and Serve: Top each crispy rice patty with a spoonful of spicy salmon mixture. Garnish with sliced avocado, jalapeño, and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
