Breakfast Casserole

This is my go-to breakfast casserole. I love it! You can use sausage, bacon, or diced ham for the meat or even sausage and bacon. yum. It's important to use 4% fat small curd cottage cheese to give it the right texture. I served it with a quick fruit salad. I just tossed together some halved strawberries, sliced Asian pear, and pomegranate seeds. My littlest loves pomegranate seeds or "granite seeds" as she calls them.
