Ingredients
Scale
- 8 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese (2% fat recommended)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or feta)
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1 cup mix-ins (optional): chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, cooked sausage, or ham
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and generously spray a 12-cup silicone muffin tray with non-stick spray.
- Add the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to a blender. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until smooth.
- Pour approximately 1/4 cup of the egg mixture into each muffin cavity.
- Distribute your chosen mix-ins across the cups and sprinkle half the shredded cheese into each cavity.
- Stir gently with a fork to distribute mix-ins and cheese evenly. Top with remaining cheese.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the centers are just set.
- Cool for 3–5 minutes before removing from the silicone tray.
Notes
For creaminess, use full-fat cottage cheese; for lighter macros, fat-free works but can be drier.
