This cottage cheese egg bake is the easiest and best casserole I have tried so far. My sweet mother-in-law shared this recipe with me. I make 3 or 4 at a time and keep them in the freezer to take to gatherings, feed guests, or surprise kids. Green chiles make it pop!

I like how this baked acorn squash recipe tastes, but scoring the squash with a knife before baking really makes for a great presentation. It also allows the simple but delicious glaze to penetrate nice and deep.
