Ingredients

Scale

Egg Muffins

  • 8 large eggs
  • 1 cup (246g) cottage cheese
  • 1/4 tsp salt (or to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C). Prepare a silicone muffin pan. If using a metal muffin pan, grease it well or line with parchment cupcake liners to prevent sticking. Silicone pans do not require greasing.
  2. Blend Ingredients: Combine the eggs, cottage cheese, and salt in a blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined. If desired, stir in any additional mix-ins like herbs or vegetables at this point.
  3. Fill Muffin Pan: Pour the blended egg mixture into the muffin cavities, filling each about 7/8 full to allow for some rise during baking.
  4. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly browned and the muffins are cooked through. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool slightly in the pan until they can be handled comfortably. Remove from the pan and enjoy warm. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for later use.

Notes

  • You can add herbs, spices, or finely chopped vegetables to customize the muffins to your taste.
