Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup full-fat or 2% cottage cheese
  • ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar
  • ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ⅛ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup finely diced bell pepper
  • ¼ cup finely chopped spinach
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Butter or oil for greasing the pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin. Whisk eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Fold in bell pepper, spinach, green onions, and cheddar until evenly mixed.
  3. Spoon mixture into the greased cups, filling each two-thirds to three-quarters full.
  4. Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until puffed, golden, and set in the center.
  5. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then run a knife around the edges to lift out each cup. Serve warm.

Notes

The cups will puff up in the oven, then settle as they cool, so do not worry if they shrink a little. If you are meal prepping, let them cool completely on a wire rack before storing to keep condensation from making them soggy.
