These Cottage Cheese Egg Muffins are a protein-packed, nutritious breakfast option that combines fluffy eggs with creamy cottage cheese and fresh vegetables. Perfectly baked in a muffin tin, they offer a convenient, grab-and-go solution for busy mornings or a healthy snack any time of day.

Ingredients

Egg Mixture

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (2% fat)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

Vegetables & Cheese

  • 1/2 large bell pepper, finely chopped
  • Handful spinach, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cheese, grated (any preferred type)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal.
  2. Mix Eggs and Dairy: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cottage cheese, salt, and ground black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Add Vegetables and Cheese: Fold in the finely chopped bell pepper, spinach, and grated cheese into the egg mixture, whisking again to distribute evenly.
  4. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the egg mixture evenly among the muffin tin cups, filling each almost to the top without overflowing.
  5. Bake the Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 23 minutes, or until the egg muffins are puffed, set, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven, let them cool slightly, then enjoy warm or at room temperature as a handy, nutritious meal or snack.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper liners or non-stick spray to prevent muffins from sticking to the pan.
  • Feel free to customize with your favorite vegetables or cheese varieties.
  • These muffins can be stored refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Reheat gently in the microwave before serving if needed.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute cottage cheese and cheese with plant-based alternatives.
