Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/3 cup chopped spinach
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten.
  3. Add the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar, and grated parmesan. Stir until you achieve a smooth blend.
  4. Gently fold in the chopped spinach, diced red bell pepper, and chives. Season with salt and pepper to your liking.
  5. Pour the egg mixture evenly into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are set in the center and lightly golden on top.
  7. Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
  8. Enjoy them warm or let them cool completely before refrigerating for easy grab-and-go breakfasts!

Notes

For a lighter option, substitute low-fat cottage cheese. You can also experiment with different vegetables like mushrooms or tomatoes.
