Ingredients:

  • 4 large eggs (200g)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (225g)
  • 1/2 cup grated Gruyère or Sharp Cheddar cheese (50g)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (1.5g)
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper (0.5g)
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon bits, crumbled (60g)
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped (40g)
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper (30g)

Instructions:

  1. Add the eggs, cottage cheese, grated cheese, salt, and pepper into a high-speed blender. Process on high for 30-60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and slightly frothy.
  2. Divide the bacon bits, chopped spinach, and diced red bell peppers evenly among 12 prepared muffin cups (silicone liners recommended).
  3. Pour the blended egg mixture over the mix-ins, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full. Gently stir each cup with a toothpick to distribute the mix-ins.
  4. Place the muffin tin inside a rimmed baking sheet and pour hot water into the baking sheet until it reaches about 1 inch up the side of the muffin tin.
  5. Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 30-35 minutes until the centers are set and have a slight jiggle.
