Description
Fluffy Cottage Cheese Egg Muffins are a delicious and easy breakfast option that combines eggs, cottage cheese, and vegetables for a nutritious start to your day.
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup finely diced bell pepper
- 1/4 cup finely diced onion
- 1/2 cup chopped spinach
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
- Cooking spray or 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or lightly brush with olive oil.
- Add the eggs and cottage cheese to a blender. Blend for 20–30 seconds until smooth and fluffy.
- Pour the egg mixture into a large bowl. Stir in the cheddar cheese, bell pepper, onion, spinach, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, paprika, and parsley.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the eggs are puffed and the centers are set.
- Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing.
- Serve warm or refrigerate for an easy breakfast throughout the week.
Notes
- Don’t overbake—the muffins will stay softer and fluffier if you remove them as soon as the centers are set.
