Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 2 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted)
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 large eggs (at room temperature)
  • ½ cup cottage cheese
  • 2 and ½ tablespoons Parmesan cheese (shredded)
  • ⅓ cup Manchego cheese (shredded, you can also use Colby or Havarti)
  • ⅓ cup Monterey (shredded)
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)

Instruction

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F.
  • Place six 5-inch ramekins or six 5-inch tart pans on a sheet pan to catch any drips.
  • Place a heavy-bottom saucepan over medium heat. Add the butter.
  • Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour. Cook, stirring constantly for about 30 seconds.
  • Next, whisk in the milk and cook until it has thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the pan from the heat and cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cooled milk sauce, and cheeses until well combined.
  • Unwrap the puff pastry and cut into 6 equal squares. Press each square into your ramekin or tart pan. Press it down in the bottom and up the sides really good.
  • Divide the egg mixture between the ramekins.
  • Bake until they are puffed up and golden brown. It should take 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven and cool slightly before serving.
