Ingredients

Scale

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (2% fat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Vegetables and Cheese

  • 1/2 large bell pepper, finely chopped
  • Handful of spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (any variety preferred)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners to prevent sticking and ease removal.
  2. Mix Eggs and Cottage Cheese: In a large bowl, whisk together the 8 large eggs, 1 cup cottage cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper until smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Vegetables and Cheese: Fold in the finely chopped 1/2 large bell pepper, handful of finely chopped spinach, and 1/2 cup grated cheese into the egg mixture. Whisk lightly until evenly distributed.
  4. Fill Muffin Tin: Pour the egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling nearly to the top to allow some puffing during baking.
  5. Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 23 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean and the muffins have puffed up.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool briefly before enjoying warm or storing for later meals.

Notes

  • Use parchment liners for easy cleanup and muffin removal.
  • Feel free to customize the cheese type or add other veggies like onions or mushrooms.
  • These muffins can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Warm them up in the microwave for about 30 seconds before serving.
