Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese full-fat or low-fat both work
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Optional add-ins
  • diced bell peppers optional
  • spinach optional
  • cooked bacon optional
  • ham optional
  • mushrooms optional
  • green onions optional

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or line with silicone muffin cups.
  2. In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper. Blend until completely smooth—about 30 seconds.
  3. Pour the egg mixture into a bowl and stir in your shredded cheese and any vegetables or meat you are using. If you are using raw vegetables, sauté them first to remove excess moisture.
  4. Pour the mixture into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the centers are set and the tops are just starting to turn golden. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.
  6. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Once completely cool, transfer to an airtight container.
