Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • ½ tsp fine sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease 8 muffin cups. Blend eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Pour the batter into the greased cups, filling each about ¾ full. Sprinkle with cheddar if using.
  3. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until puffed and set in the center.
  4. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then loosen the edges with a knife and serve.

Notes

For add-ins like cooked bacon or spinach, stir them into the blended batter just before pouring. The bites deflate as they cool, so don’t worry if they look less dramatic after a few minutes. They reheat beautifully and taste even a little richer the next day.
