Cottage Cheese and Egg Custard

I have been looking for a good breakfast that is quick and easy with protein. I found this recipe and decide to try it. It is really yummy with plenty of protein. I make these on Sunday evening and have them for the week. I simply heat a couple of them up in the morning for about 30 seconds in the microwave and have them with an English muffin. Very yummy and healthy breakfast.
