Ingredients
9 large eggs
3/4 cup cottage cheese
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheese
Optional: 1 cup chopped spinach
Optional: 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil
Optional: 1/2 cup cooked veggies
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with silicone or lightly greased paper liners.
- Add eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and black pepper to a blender. Blend for 15–30 seconds until smooth.
- Pour the egg mixture evenly into muffin cups, filling nearly to the top.
- If using add-ins, sprinkle them into each cup and press gently with a fork.
- Bake for 22 minutes, or until puffed and fully set.
- Let cool slightly before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm or store for later.
Notes
- For added flavor, stir in herbs like basil, parsley, or green onions.
- Cheeses like cheddar, feta, or mozzarella work well as mix-ins.
- Use pre-cooked veggies to prevent excess moisture in the bites.
- Whisk by hand if a blender isn’t available, though texture will be slightly different.
- Pair with fruit or toast for a complete meal.
